A car, which got stuck in the underpass, was almost submerged. Navi Mumbai civic officials later removed the car and cleared the road in the evening. “I could not go to Turbhe from Sanpada because of the waterlogging. So I travelled to Vashi first and reached Turbhe through an internal road,” said Pradeep Mitra, 34, a resident of Sanpada village.
