Mumbai Rains: Harbour line local trains running late as rain lashes in city

Harbour line local train services between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai were hit on Friday afternoon as heavy rains caused waterlogging at Kurla. The trains on the line were running late, the Central Railway said.

Dr Shivraj Manaspure, chief public relations officer of Central Railway, said the traffic on the DOWN (Navi Mumbai-bound) track was suspended for sometime due to waterlogging. Suburban services on the main line between the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) to Kasara and CSMT to Khopoli and trans-harbour line between Thane-Vashi/ Panvel and Belapur-Kharkopar lines were running normally, he said.

Heavy rains lashed Mumbai on Friday, inundating low-lying areas and disrupting vehicular traffic in the city and its suburbs. Most parts of the city and suburbs witnessed a heavy spell of rains, which caused waterlogging in some low-lying areas at Andheri, Kurla, Ghatkopar, Chembur and some other places.
