Heavy rain has caused at least 18 deaths and triggered massive rail, road and air transport disruptions in Mumbai.

The victims died when a wall collapsed on them in the early hours after persistent rainfall for two days.

Authorities have declared a public holiday and have requested people to stay indoors.

Met department officials have confirmed that this is the heaviest rainfall in the city for a decade.

Experts have blamed rapid construction and bad urban planning for what many call Mumbai's annual rain chaos.
