Train services on the Central Railway's main and harbour lines faced disruptions on Sunday morning. The delay was caused by an extended mega block aimed at launching a bridge girder. As a result, both local and long-distance travelers experienced significant inconvenience, according to officials.
The Central Railway rescheduled 11 long-distance trains originating from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), while nine incoming trains were short-terminated due to the block, officials noted in a social media update.
Additionally, one laborer reportedly sustained injuries during the girder launch, adding to the challenges. The original six-hour mega block for the under-construction Carnac Bridge was scheduled to conclude by 5.30 am but overran its timeframe, impacting operations and leading to service cancellations on key lines.
