As reported by the Deccan Herald, Western Railways stated that local train services were running normally on Monday morning, although commuters reported delays of 5 to 10 minutes. Central Railway also announced that local services on all four corridors were normal, but commuters noted train traffic issues between Kalyan and Thakurli stations during the morning rush hour due to a signal problem.
Despite the authorities’ warnings and the previous orange alert, some residents of the financial capital continued with their daily routines, even as the heavy rains as part of the red alert are expected to persist until at least the 26th.
