Mumbai Central Railway Disruptions Delay Commuters, Postpone Somaiya College Exam
Mumbai's Central Railway line experienced significant disruptions on Monday morning due to a foreign wire detected between Mulund and Thane and a fire in a relay room at Kanjurmarg. These issues caused delays of up to 90 minutes, stranding commuters including students and office workers. Two Somaiya College students missed their mid-semester Chemistry exam, which was subsequently rescheduled to October 28. Central Railway has announced an investigation following restoration of services.
