Mumbai: Local train services on the Central Railway’s Main and Harbour lines resumed operations and service for passengers on Monday.  The Central Railways official announcement reads: "Trains on Central Main Line, Harbour Line, and Trans Harbour line are running in Mumbai." At present, local train services are currently running only for personnel engaged in health and other essential services, and are out of bounding for general commuters in the wake of covid-19.

Public transport including suburban services was interrupted as heavy rain lashed parts of Mumbai and its suburbs, leading to water-logging on tracks at a few places. Earlier on Sunday, due to heavy rain and water-logging on the slow lines near Kurla-Vidyavihar, local trains were running 20-25 minutes late. The Central Railway runs suburban services on four separate suburban corridors in the Mumbai metropolitan region. Before the outbreak of the pandemic, it used to operate over 1,700 suburban services and ferry over 40 lakh passengers on a daily basis. 

IN the meanwhile, India Metrological Department has forecasted moderate to heavy rain and thundershowers in Mumbai and suburbs with the possibility of very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall at isolated places.
