Video shows catfish swimming on Mumbai local railway tracks amid heavy rains
Mumbai: In an unusual sight, multiple catfish were seen swimming on the flooded tracks of Mumbai’s local railway system.
This incident, captured on video and now viral, occurred amid the Indian Meteorological Department’s (IMD) forecast of moderate rainfall for the city. The timeline of the video is not confirmed.
The video shows the catfish navigating the submerged tracks, a consequence of the heavy rains that have led to significant waterlogging in several areas, including the railway tracks.
Social media users quickly shared their amusement, with one commenting, "These are catfish, and during monsoon, they come out from the canals and other water bodies. It’s a lovely sight to watch because they seem to be enjoying themselves without realizing where they are."
Flooding in Mumbai has caused disruptions in the local train services, further complicating the city's already chaotic monsoon season. The IMD has issued warnings for continued moderate to heavy rainfall, urging residents to remain cautious.

50 passengers from Karnataka stranded in conflict region arrived in New Delhi: CM office
Bengaluru (PTI): Fifty passengers from the state who were stranded in the Gulf region amid the ongoing West Asia conflict arrived in New Delhi early Friday morning after departing from Fujairah in the UAE, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's office said.
The protocol team (Karnataka govt) were at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi with breakfast, it said.
They were transported on a KSRP (Karnataka State Reserve Police) bus and two cars to domestic terminals for their onward travel to Bengaluru, Mangaluru and Hubballi, the CM office said in a statement.
Many were disgruntled and complained to the team that MEA did nothing, and it was only a local organisation that helped them with their tickets, etc., the statement claimed.
"Incidentally, we are the only state so far that is providing this assistance at the Delhi airport," it added.
