Mumbai, July 2 (IBNS): Eighteen people died as Mumbai experienced the heaviest rain in a 24-hour time in a decade, media reports said.

The trains and flight services have become paralysed. The Maharashtra government on Tuesday declared a public holiday for schools, colleges and offices in Mumbai city.

A 10-year-old girl is trapped in debris after a wall collapsed in Mumbai's Malad due to heavy rain late last night. The incident occurred at around 2 am on Tuesday.

Massive rescue efforts had started after a faint voice of the girl was heard coming out from the debris asking for water. However, Mumbai Fire Brigade-led rescue teams were unable to take the girl out of debris due to poor weather, uneven and muddy ground.

Four others were critically injured due to the collapse of the wall. The injured were taken to trauma centres in Jogeshwari and Kandivali.

In another incident, a school wall crashed upon its adjacent houses in Kalyan area leading to the death of three including a three-year-old boy. An injured girl is undergoing treatment at a hospital.
