Western and Central Railways will carry out extensive maintenance blocks between Saturday night, April 4 and Sunday night, April 5, 2026, affecting suburban services across multiple lines in Mumbai. The special night block on Central and Western lines has been imposed due to the demolition of the Prabhadevi Road Over Bridge (ROB).
