As the met department warned of heavy rain for most of Saturday, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) urged citizens to stay away from beaches and avoid going too close to the Marine Drive sea wall.
However, reports said there's no waterlogging on tracks on Saturday morning and Western Railways' suburban and long distance trains are running normally.
The Central Railways says the water has receded and suburban services on mainline, harbor and trans harbor lines are running fine.
