In repercussion to this, the train traffic on the Belapur-Seawoods-Kharpokar suburban corridor was suspended during peak and rush hours affecting the schedule of daily commuters. If reports are to be believed, it will take nearly two-three hours to restore the services. While officials stated that the harbour line services have been restored within 90 minutes.
Fortunately, no injury has been reported to any passengers. Moreover, in a major relief trains to office goers on the main line and other sections of Central Railway (CR), the services connecting those routes were restored in one and a half hour and later were running as per schedule.
