Meanwhile, local train services on the Western Line were affected due to cable cutting at the central station in Borivali, impacting the movement of trains on platforms 1 and 2. However, the other lines were operating normally. Some trains were delayed, and a few were canceled in the morning. The problem has since been resolved, according to Western Railway CPRO Sumit Thakur.
