In Mumbai, local train services on the Harbour Line were restored early Wednesday at 3 AM, following a disruption that lasted over 15 hours. This information was confirmed by officials.

The local train services, which are often referred to as the lifeline of the city, were halted due to severe flooding of the tracks caused by heavy rainfall.

Officials reported that after a day of disruption affecting daily life, all public transport services, including local trains, returned to normal operations on Wednesday morning.

According to Swapnil Neela, the Chief Public Relations Officer of Central Railway, train services on the Harbour Line were fully resumed after the water levels on the tracks decreased at 3 AM. The services had been suspended at 11:15 AM on Tuesday.

Due to the intense rainfall leading to flooded tracks, railway authorities had to suspend operations first on the Harbour Line and later on the main line of Central Railway on Tuesday afternoon.

Rail operations on the main line between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Thane stations in South Mumbai resumed at 7:30 PM on Tuesday, but services on the Harbour Line connecting Navi Mumbai to South Mumbai remained suspended past midnight. Some sections of the Harbour Line were submerged under 15 inches of water.

Neela stated, 'Currently, services are operational on all lines.' The Divisional Railway Manager of Central Railway's Mumbai division posted on social media urging passengers to travel only if necessary and to exercise caution, as the India Meteorological Department has forecasted heavy rainfall in the Mumbai area. Additionally, officials from Western Railway indicated that some suburban services would be canceled due to the heavy rain and flooding experienced in the city.
