Seven coaches of a local train derailed between Andheri and Vile Parle stations in suburban Mumbai.
Traffic was majorly disrupted on the busy route linking Churchgate in South Mumbai to Virar. No casualty has been reported so far.
“A team of engineers and rescue officials have rushed to the spot to restore the services,” the CPRO said to PTI. To find the exact cause of the derailment, a n inquiry would be conducted, he added.
The suburban train services were badly affected on the busy route due to the derailment. A local train coming from Bandra had on Monday evening derailed on the Harbour Line of Central Railway while entering the platform at Chhattrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), causing inconvenience to commuters during the peak hours.
Suburban harbour line services, both up and down, were suspended between CST and Wadala Road Station owing to the mishap.
