Train services in Indian's financial hub Mumbai were disrupted Wednesday following a midnight fire at signaling cabins, which damaged some equipments, a senior official said.
"The central railway trains were affected after a fire broke out at around 2 a.m. at two signaling cabins. The fire was doused after about half an hour. We are trying to find out reasons for the mishap," S. Malegoakar, chief public relations officer of the Central Railway, told the media.
"The signaling equipment has been damaged badly. It has affected the train traffic badly," the officer said.
TV channels reported that all local trains on Mumbai's main central line were late for about 45 minutes this morning due to the fire.
Some 7 million people travel on Mumbai local trains, considered to be the financial capital's lifeline. |
