Mumbai monorail breaks down again, 17 passengers rescued with parallel rake

Mumbai: The city’s troubled monorail service suffered yet another disruption Monday morning when a train developed a technical snag near Wadala, forcing an emergency evacuation of 17 passengers.

Services between Sant Gadge Maharaj Chowk and Wadala were operated on a single line for more than two hours, leading to bunching up of rakes, though operations on the Wadala-Chembur section remained unaffected. Officials said the incident occurred around 7.15am when a train stalled between Antop Hill Bus Depot and GTBN stations due to a software-related issue.
