Three Found Dead On Tracks After Mumbai Local Train Disruption
Earlier on October 28, three people were found dead on the railway tracks after a major disruption paralysed Mumbai's Central Railway, forcing hundreds of stranded passengers to walk along the lines.
According to reports, two bodies were recovered from the Ghatkopar-Vikhroli stretch and sent to Rajawadi Hospital, while the third was found on the tracks near Bhandup.
The disruption began around 10:00 AM when a fire broke out near Kanjurmarg station. The fire caused the signalling system between Thane and Vikhroli to collapse. Shortly before the fire, an overhead wire technical glitch occurred between Mulund and Thane, compounding the delays.
