Mumbai Rains Live Updates: Local Train Services Between CSMT And Thane Resumes; DY CM Warns Next 48 Hours 'Crucial'

Train services on the Central Railway’s main line between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Thane resumed on Tuesday evening after being suspended for nearly eight hours due to heavy rainfall in Mumbai. Operations were halted around 11:30 AM as waterlogging disrupted movement, bringing the city’s lifeline to a standstill. Services restarted when a train left CSMT at 7:28 PM, officials confirmed. While the main line is now operational, services on the harbour line between CSMT and Mankhurd remain suspended. Railway authorities said restoration work is still in progress to clear water and ensure safe travel for passengers.

A monorail in Mumbai’s Vashi Gaon came to a halt on Tuesday following a power supply glitch, leaving passengers stranded on the elevated track. Fire brigade teams, with the help of a crane, began evacuating people as police and engineers reached the site. Some commuters were stuck for over an hour while efforts were made to open the coaches. The Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation said the snag was minor and assured that services would be restored soon.

Continuous rainfall for the past 12 hours caused severe traffic congestion across Pune on Tuesday, with waterlogging, potholes and slow-moving vehicles adding to the chaos. Long queues of vehicles stretched for kilometres on Nagar Road, Sinhgad Road, Kesanand–Wagholi stretch, Hadapsar, Canal Road, SPPU Chowk and Laxmi Road, among other areas.

Pune City Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar issued an advisory urging citizens to remain cautious. “Heavy rainfall continues in the city, with waterlogging reported in several locations. People should avoid stepping out unless necessary. For emergencies, dial helpline number 112,” the statement read.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday shared an update on the relief work being carried out in flood-affected areas of the state. "Efforts are being made to provide immediate relief, with 525 pumps operational, 10 mini pumping stations, and six large pumping stations in use. Holding ponds have been created, and NDRF teams are working to shift people from flood-prone areas to safer locations, providing them with food, shelter, and medical camps... Geo-netting is being implemented in landslide-prone areas to prevent further incidents. The BMC is also providing food packets and other essentials to those affected, and public transport services are being managed to reduce traffic... It is an appeal to people to stay indoors unless necessary and for private companies to allow work from home to manage the high-intensity rainfall, which has caused significant flooding but is being mitigated by ongoing drainage efforts... Additionally, they instruct the Municipal Commissioner to assess and provide aid to areas affected by the flooding, including assistance for Ganesh idol immersions," Shinde told ANI.

The IMD has placed Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, Raigad, and Ratnagiri districts under a red alert for the next three hours. The advisory warns of intense to very intense rainfall accompanied by strong winds blowing at 40–50 kmph, with gusts possibly reaching up to 60 kmph.,
