India monsoon rains bring busy Mumbai to grinding halt

Version 0 of 1.

Heavy monsoon rains in India's financial capital, Mumbai, have brought the city to a standstill.

Waterlogged roads have caused severe traffic blocks along arterial roads and all flights have been delayed.

The local train service, used by hundreds of thousands of commuters daily, has been suspended, with many stranded at stations.

The annual monsoon often causes a complete breakdown of infrastructure and transport services in Mumbai.
