Scores of Dalit protestors staged rail roko protests at various stations across Mumbai, affecting the movement of suburban rail services.
Current Status:
* Western line trains are running normally.
* Harbour line trains are not running between Kurla and Mankhurd.
* Harbour line trains are running normally between CSMT-Kurla and Mankhurd/Vashi and Panvel.
* Trains on Central Railways’ Main and Transharbour line are running normally.
The protestors had staged rail roko at Mulund, Chembur, Bhandup, Vikhroli and Kurla stations. While most attempts were foiled quickly, some led to major disruptions.
Due to public agitation not related to railways, Harbour line trains are not running between Kurla and Mankhurd. @ZeeNews@ZeeNewsHindi @Central_Railway@IndianRailMedia@RidlrMUM @drmmumbaicr pic.twitter.com/Pdq2KWroB9
