Overview

• MMRCL said a Worli-bound train developed a fault at about 2:44 pm while approaching Santacruz, and all passengers were safely deboarded.
• The affected rake was moved to the BKC loopline for detailed inspection, the specific service was cancelled, and other Line-3 trains operated on schedule.
• Some riders reported smoke on board, but the operator said there was no fire or smoke and that safety protocols were followed.
• Later in the day, separate technical issues slowed Lines 2A and 7 and led to a passenger deboarding near Akurli, with MMMOCL saying services were restored within an hour.
• Line-3 is Mumbai’s first fully underground corridor with sections opened in October 2024 and May 2025, and the final stretch is scheduled for inauguration on October 8.
