Passengers are advised to check the latest updates via the railway's official social media channels and website before starting their journey.  Announcements are being made regularly to keep passengers informed about the status of the trains and estimated delays. Efforts are also being made to reroute some trains to mitigate the impact.

Meanwhile, yesterday 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.
