Four dead in Mumbai monsoon deluge
A six-year-old boy was among four people killed after severe flooding hit India's financial hub Mumbai, resulting in dozens of cancelled or delayed flights, officials said yesterday. Mumbai -- home to 20 million people -- has been hit by torrential downpours over the past two months amid the annual monsoon deluge. Non-stop rain over several hours on Wednesday paralysed traffic, halted trains and delayed airport operations at the western city. Residents spoke of being trapped in traffic for several hours amid chaotic scenes.
