Less than a year after the Elphinstone Road station stampede, which claimed 39 lives, heavy rain caused the already-weakened pedestrian section of the busy Gokhale bridge, connecting Andheri (W) to Andheri (E) to collapse onto the tracks. The incident left five injured, of whom one is critical.
Bad weather delayed aircraft arrivals among many other incidents in Mumbai.
Train services were suspended due to the bridge collapse in Andheri; sudden suspension of services led to overcrowding across stations, and commuters were left stranded.
