Additionally, on Sunday, a tree fell on the rails, obstructing the Vashind station and causing the soil to crack on the lines between Atgaon and Thansit stations. This caused disruptions to train services on the extremely busy tracks. Train service on these routes is anticipated to resume on Monday. Maharashtra’s heavy rains affected the Central Railway’s suburban services, causing waterlogging on stations and tracks. CRPO said in a statement, “Train services are affected at Sion and between Bhandup and Nahur stations. Rainwater was above the tracks, so trains were stopped for nearly one hour. Now. Now that the water has receded a bit, trains are restarting, but services are still affected.” According to weather officials, Mumbai saw 300 mm of rain in six hours from 1 am to 7 am today at various locations, severely disrupting low-lying regions and causing serious waterlogging.
