Video: Mumbai's Newly-Inaugurated Worli Metro Station Flooded, Roof Leaks

Mumbai:
The Worli underground metro station in Mumbai was flooded as Monsoon arrived early in the financial capital. Mumbai has been witnessing heavy rainfall, which started last night and continued till morning, resulting in waterlogging in parts of the city and traffic congestion. The visuals from the ground show the Worli underground metro station inundated following incessant rain in Mumbai. The water reached not just the gates of the station but also the platforms, waiting to enter the metro.
Several videos show the platform completely flooded with muddy water. The passengers were seen wading through the water with folded pants and slippers.
In another video, shot from inside the metro, the water was seen dripping down the platform, suggesting a leak in the roof. The cause of the flooding suggests inadequate drainage.

The Services of the Mumbai Metro Line 3 from Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) to Acharya Atre Chowk in Worli became operational earlier this month, on May 10. The flooding at the newly inaugurated station has raised questions about the infrastructure.
Taking a dig at the situation, a user on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) wrote, "We are idiots. They were serious when they named it Aqua Line."

In another incident, a part of Kemps Corner Road in South Mumbai collapsed, resulting in restricted traffic movement. Kemps Corner is a posh neighborhood in South Mumbai. It's located at the intersection of Breach Candy, Warden Road, Pedder Road, and Nepean Sea Road.
The road has been closed near Warden Collection for all vehicles coming from Kemps Corner towards Mukesh Chowk.
All vehicles have been asked to take a U-turn and drive back towards the Kemps Corner flyover. No vehicle is allowed to go from Kemps Corner towards Nepean Road.
The administration is present on the spot. People have been asked to use the alternate route.
