Heavy Rain Alert In Mumbai: Palghar Bridge Submerged, Train Services Affected

Mumbai: The monsoon arrived in Maharashtra a few days ago, but initially, it was slow and did not bring much rain. Now, the monsoon has regained its strength, causing continuous rain in many cities across Maharashtra. In Palghar, heavy rainfall has led to the submergence of the bridge over the Deharje river.

The collapse of the bridge has interrupted connectivity between Palghar and Manorwada. Additionally, both the up and down railway tracks between Boisar-Umroli station on the Western Railway are flooded, impacting train services. Trains are experiencing delays of 25 to 30 minutes due to the reduced speed caused by the waterlogging.
