Overview

• The train stopped between Mysore Colony and Bhakti Park around 6:15 pm after what the operator called a minor power-supply issue.
• A towing attempt with another rake failed as brakes remained engaged, prompting the fire brigade to evacuate passengers using snorkel and crane vehicles.
• BEST buses and medical teams were deployed at the site, and several commuters were treated for suffocation, according to municipal updates.
• MMRDA and state leaders said overloading beyond the system’s capacity broke contact with the power rail and triggered the emergency brakes.
• Monorail services on the Wadala–Chembur stretch shifted to single-line operations as heavy rain continued to disrupt the wider transport network and an inquiry got underway.
