Authorities warned residents to remain at home Sunday after heavy rains began falling again across Bombay and the surrounding state, which were hammered last week by devastating floods. Cleanup efforts and the distribution of food supplies to needy residents were badly slowed by the renewed monsoon rains, which began early Sunday morning, and aviation officials ordered the city's airports, the busiest in the country, closed because of poor visibility. The airports reopened at around noon after a seven-hour shutdown, The Associated Press reported. Officials, meanwhile, said the death toll from the recent rains could reach 1,000. --SP 1126 Local Time 0826 GMT
