Heavy rainfall in Maharashtra’s Raigad district caused severe waterlogging on the Mumbai-Goa highway, disrupting traffic movement and leaving thousands of commuters stranded, officials said on Monday.

The disruption was reported after floodwater accumulated on the highway at Sukeli Ghat near Nagothane, where water levels reached nearly three feet on Sunday. The flooding made it difficult for vehicles to pass through the stretch, forcing authorities to temporarily stop traffic movement.
