• On June 24, a plastic sheet blown from a nearby construction site entangled with the overhead wire near Versova station and halted services around 7 pm
• This week’s entanglement was the second monsoon-season incident on the line, following a similar sheet snag near Azad Nagar on June 16
• Services were again stalled on June 25 by technical faults, deepening delays and commuter frustration
• Passengers at Andheri station experienced severe congestion as they rushed to board limited trains toward Ghatkopar
