Normal life was thrown out of gear in the financial capital today by heavy rains that led to waterlogging in several areas and hit the movement of air and rail traffic.

The metropolis experienced an incessant downpour since the wee hours, inundating many areas across the city, civic officials said.

Traffic at the airport was affected with the air traffic control stopping runway operations owing to poor visibility at 9:46am, a spokesperson of Mumbai International Airport Ltd (Mial), the company that is developing the airport and operates it, said.

Operations on the runway resumed at about 10:15am, but visibility was restricted to 800 metres owing to which flight services were affected, the spokesperson said.
