Local train services on the Central Railway route in Thane, Maharashtra, were disrupted on Monday afternoon due to a technical issue, leading to significant crowding at Ghatkopar station. The disruption began at 2:28 PM between Thakurli and Kalyan, affecting the down line. The Central Railway posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Due to a technical issue between Thakurli and Kalyan down through line is affected from 14.28 pm. Our technical team is working on it to resume service. The inconvenience caused is regretted.” The issue led to substantial delays and passenger congestion, with viral videos showing Ghatkopar station jam-packed. Police reported heavy crowding at Thakurli station as well, as commuters struggled with the disruption. Authorities are working to resolve the issue and restore normal service as soon as possible.
