Commuters on the Central Railway were seen stranded and queued up due to the lack of signal clearance for both slow and fast line trains. The disruptions were caused by a “foreign wire” seen hanging from overhead equipment between the Mulund and Thane stations, and a fire in the relay room at Kanjurmarg. Mumbai local train services faced major disruption after a fire near Kanjurmarg damaged signalling equipment, stranding commuters for hours.
