As a precaution, all schools and colleges in Mumbai have been ordered to remain closed on Tuesday. In Pune district, Lonavala recorded around 900 mm of rainfall, its highest in 16 years, while authorities reported 22 landslides and the closure of several roads.
Traffic has, however, resumed on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway link road after clearance operations. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has deployed emergency teams across vulnerable locations and advised residents to avoid unnecessary travel, stay away from damaged structures and follow official weather advisories.
