Heavy rains totally disrupts train services in Mumbai area, CM orders early closure of Govt Offices

 

Due to heavy rains in Maharashtra, the speed of Mumbai local has slowed down.  Many trains have been cancelled and diverted.

Due to heavy rains in Thane district adjacent to Mumbai, the track changing point on the Kalyan-Kasara route was damaged, due to which train services on this route were stopped on Wednesday afternoon.  A senior railway official gave this information.  The Central Railway also informed that it has diverted some mail and express trains on Diva-Panvel-Karjat route and Daund-Manmad route, besides terminating some trains between Mumbai and Pune.  

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Wednesday ordered that the government offices in Mumbai and the neighboring region should be closed early. The order comes as many local trains were delayed due to heavy rains and the government wanted the employees to reach home on time.

 Chief Public Relations Officer of Central Railway, Dr. Shivraj Manaspure told that at around 2.40 pm, train services were stopped on the Kalyan-Kasara route due to point failure.  Train tracks between Ambernath and Badlapur stations in Thane were completely submerged, affecting suburban services between Kalyan and Khopoli (in Raigad) since 11 am.

 Manaspure said that trains are not running on the Kalyan-Kasara route.  Earlier in the day, the official said that the Badlapur-Ambernath route was closed for trains since 11.05 am due to water-logging.
