MMRCL is inspecting the affected train at the BKC loop following passenger evacuation.

Overview

  • MMRCL reported a train developed a technical issue near Siddhivinayak around 10:30 am, prompting a brief halt of roughly 10 minutes.
  • Services resumed with trains running 5–10 minutes behind schedule as operations remain under close monitoring.
  • Passengers from the halted train were brought safely to the platform under established emergency protocols.
  • The faulty rake was moved to the Bandra-Kurla Complex loop for checks of the train, signalling, and traction systems.
  • The Aqua Line, opened only months ago between Aarey and Cuffe Parade, previously saw an October breakdown near Santacruz that also required evacuations.
