Mumbai's civic body warned the people about the possibilities of high tide in the noon hours. Giant tides of about 15 feet are expected shortly and people are informed to avoid sea surrounding roads.
Schools run by the civic body have been shut down and university exams have been cancelled. Many private schools didn't declare a holiday but the government urged parents not to send their children.
The Bombay High Court has shut down for the day. People in lakhs are getting suffered with the monster flood.
Operations on the Harbour line have been suspended and services have also been stopped between the busy Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus or CST and the Kurla suburb on the Central line.
