Viral Video: In a dramatic turn of events, the onlookers spot leakage inside one of the compartments of the Mumbai Metro on Tuesday, leaving commuters baffled. The island city had been under a mild rain and thunderstorm alert all week, according to the Indian Meteorological Department’s forecast. But no one was prepared for a shower inside the Metro itself.
Viral Video Captures Metro Water Leakage Incident
A Viral Video of the incident had gone viral across social media, even after having been posted on X, formerly known as Twitter by Miss Ordinaari. The dripping water from the Metro’s ceiling is a cause for concern among passenger commuters, yet it is also funny. Instant attention was gained online over what appears to be an unpalatable consequence of the vagaries of that city’s weather.
Heavy downpours and thunderstorms marked an otherwise good Tuesday morning for parts of Mumbai, especially the suburbs. The rain accompanied by gusty winds and thunder made the going tough all through the morning. While the residents of the city have not seen many days without monsoon rain, they were taken by surprise when water leaked inside the normally reliable Metro.

The IMD has forecasted cloudy darkened skies and heavy rains by later in the day, which will add to the city’s monsoon woes. It raises enough questions over the preparedness of its infrastructure for such extreme weather conditions, not even from a modern transit system like the Metro.
As Viral Video spread throughout and beyond online communities, most might comment on the unexpected nature of this event, raising huge concerns over whether public transport within the city can be well managed in the event of heavy rains.
