Western railway services disrupted after overhead wire broke after Ajmer Express from Mumbai to Ajmer came at platform number 3 in Palghar. This incident took place at 6:30 pm because of which long-distance express trains going to Mumbai and Gujarat on both routes as well as suburban local services were stopped at different stations. Following this incident Western Railway services temporarily suspended, which will cause significant disruption for employees commuting between Palghar Dahanu taluka and Mumbai.

As per the sources this problem will take two to three hours for the service to start. The Ajmer Express from Mumbai to Ajmer suddenly broke down at platform number 3 in Palghar at 6:30 pm, and the driver of the train honked the horn and alerted everyone. Due to the break in the overhead wire, long-distance express trains going to Mumbai and Gujarat on both routes as well as suburban local services were stopped at different stations.
