Central Railway services remain largely unaffected despite waterlogging in Mumbai’s Kurla
Central Railway officials said waterlogging in Kurla, one of the busiest junctions on the suburban network, was quickly attended to by engineering teams deployed on site.

Officials confirmed that train services are running smoothly with an average delay of five to ten minutes.
The downpour led to waterlogging at several locations, including the Kurla station. Railway authorities, however, said timely action prevented any significant disruption to suburban services.
“The trains are running smoothly on all four lines. There is waterlogging, but it didn’t disrupt our service,” said P D Patil, Chief Public Relations Officer, Central Railway.
Commuters travelling on the Central line experienced slight delays, particularly during peak hours, but crowd movement at stations remained manageable.
