Passengers faced significant inconvenience due to water leakage in Mumbai’s AC local train. Water dripping in the train traveling from Andheri to Bhayandar forced passengers to change seats and made the journey uncomfortable. Railways have now responded to this incident.

A video is going viral on social media showing clear water leakage in the coach of Mumbai’s AC local train, often called the city’s lifeline. The video shows water dripping from the ceiling of the train compartment.

On Saturday night, water suddenly started leaking in the AC local train that departed from Andheri to Bhayandar, causing major problems for passengers. Due to the water dripping, passengers had to change their seats and many felt uncomfortable during the journey. A complaint has been filed with Western Railway about this incident.

Western Railway has now responded to the matter. Railway officials stated that the identified rake is unit number 7013-7016. This rake has been continuously running on the line since Sunday morning and no complaints have been registered so far. Despite this, taking the passengers’ complaint seriously, the rake will be inspected and necessary corrective measures will be taken. Railways have also expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to passengers.

It should be noted that continuous rainfall has been occurring in and around the area since Saturday, which may have contributed to this situation developing.

Mumbai

Mumbai is a major port city on India’s west coast, originally a collection of fishing villages. It grew into a global commercial hub under British colonial rule as the headquarters of the East India Company. Today, it is India’s financial, commercial, and entertainment capital, famously home to the Bollywood film industry.

Andheri

Andheri is a major suburb located in western Mumbai, India, historically known as a collection of fishing villages. It has transformed into a densely populated commercial and residential hub, divided into East and West, and is notable for housing the city’s domestic airport.

Bhayandar

Bhayandar is a suburb located in the Thane district of Maharashtra, India, situated between the cities of Mumbai and Mira-Bhayanadar. Historically, it was a collection of small fishing villages and salt pans, with its modern development largely driven by its proximity to Mumbai as a residential and commercial extension.

Western Railway

The Western Railway is one of India’s largest and oldest railway networks, originally established during the British colonial era in 1847. It played a vital role in connecting the port city of Mumbai (then Bombay) with the rest of the country, facilitating trade and passenger travel. Today, it remains a crucial artery for the region’s economy and transportation.
