Mumbai Monorail With 400 Passengers Breaks Down Amid Heavy Rain

A monorail train broke down in Mumbai this evening amid heavy rain, stranding hundreds of passengers for more than two hours. The monorail rake, which runs on an elevated track, got stuck due to a minor power supply issue, said the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). "Our operations and maintenance teams are already on-site and working to resolve it quickly," it said. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that a section of the train got tilted due to overcrowding. "Due to the closure of the Harbour line, many passengers were diverted towards the monorail. Due to the overcrowding, it tilted and there was also a power failure," he told NDTV.
