Mumbai Local Train Services Delayed Due to Hanging Wire and Relay Room Fire
Mumbai's Central Railway suburban train services faced delays of 15 to 30 minutes on Monday morning after a foreign wire was found hanging from the overhead equipment between Mulund and Thane stations. An overhead equipment block was imposed at 10 am to remove the obstruction and carry out repairs, causing train suspensions and crowded platforms. Additionally, a fire in the Kanjurmarg relay room contributed to further delays. Commuters experienced packed coaches and some walked on tracks due to the disruptions during peak hours.
