thebalanced.newsPower Failure Causes 90-Minute Disruption on Central Railway's Kalyan-Kasara Section
Suburban train services on Central Railway's Kalyan-Kasara section were disrupted for about 90 minutes early Sunday due to a power failure between Asangaon and Khadavli stations. The first Kasara-bound local train was stranded from 4:30 am to 5:25 am, causing delays and overcrowding at several stations. Railway staff promptly addressed the fault, restoring normal operations by 6 am, though some trains remained delayed due to cascading effects. The disruption preceded a scheduled mega block on the Main Line later that day.
