Heavy rains in India's financial capital Mumbai have disrupted the lives of millions of people, submerging roads and leading to flight and train cancellations. Many parts of the city remain inundated in waist-deep water, with videos showing residents swimming through waterlogged roads as garbage gushed out from clogged sewers.

The meteorological department has warned of heavy rains on Wednesday after torrential downpour a day earlier disrupted life in India's financial hub.

At least a dozen people complained of suffocation and two reportedly fainted. One woman was hospitalised, but her condition was said to be stable.
