Cloth Entangled in Overhead Wire Disrupts Mumbai Harbour Line Train ServicesNext

On Saturday morning, Mumbai's Harbour line train services were disrupted due to a piece of cloth entangled in the overhead equipment at Sewri station around 9:44-9:45 am. The obstruction halted trains on platform two, causing delays of 15 to 20 minutes during peak hours. Railway staff removed the cloth by 10:13 am, restoring services. A video showed some commuters walking on the tracks during the disruption. This incident followed earlier disruptions on the Central Railway network earlier in the week.
