Cyclone Tauktae wrecked Maharashtra, killing six people and injuring nine. The cyclone swept past Mumbai on its way to Gujarat on Monday night.
Mumbai was lashed with 115 km per hour winds, forcing authorities to shut the airport and the Bandra-Worli sea link for hours. As a result of the cyclone, Mumbai received heavy rainfall and strong winds throughout the day on Monday. Trees were uprooted, streets were logged and traffic crawled in different parts of Mumbai. The cyclone also damaged Mumbai's jumbo Covid centre in Bandra Kurla Complex.
