However, trains heading to Asangaon, Karjat, and Ambernath were delayed due to the disruption.

The disruption caused overcrowding at several stations. Many passengers reported long waits and expressed frustration over the repeated technical failures. Railway officials said restoration work continued late into the night.

Central Railway conducts regular maintenance of tracks, signals and overhead wires during scheduled Sunday megablocks. Commuters expect smooth operations following these efforts. However, incidents like overhead wire failures continue to cause trouble for daily passengers.
