Shocking!! Tears & Struggle#Watch<\/a> this video of Thane station this evening.
Despite the @RailMinIndia<\/a> & Hon Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw<\/a> concern about the passengers, @drmmumbaicr<\/a> is lethargic about the travel woes of Mumbaikars.

A fierce storm crippled all forms of traffic and railway movement in Mumbai and its suburbs yesterday. A massive billboard collapsed and killed 14 people at a petrol pump during the storm.<\/p>\n

The local train services were suspended around 4:15 pm for over two hours after an overhead pole got bent due to strong winds between Thane and Mulund stations, said a Central Railway official.<\/p>\n

Slow and delayed train services resumed on the main corridor around 6:45 pm.<\/p>\n

In a precautionary move, the suburban services were suspended for 10-15 minutes at various locations on both the main and harbour lines, leading to further disruption of services during peak evening rush hours.<\/p>\n

They delays and disruptions led to overcrowding at several stations. In some instances, passengers were even forced to walk on the tracks after their trains came to a standstill. Some commuters claimed the trains took longer than usual to reach their destinations.<\/p>\n

The suburban services were running at least 15-20 minutes late after the storm, Western Railway chief spokesperson Sumit Thakur told PTI. There was a signal failure near Charni Road Station as well.<\/p>\n

On the Metro Line 7, which connects Aarey Colony with Andheri East Station in Mumbai, services were suspended after a banner landed on the overhead wire during the storm, said a spokesperson.<\/p>\n

The storm and unseasonal rain uprooted trees and led to heavy traffic jams across the city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
