A sudden loss of mobile network connectivity on Mumbai Metro’s Aqua Line 3 late Wednesday night caught commuters off guard. On Thursday, mid-day travelled from Aarey JVLR to Worli to check if services were restored, but all phones still flashed: ‘No Network’, ‘Call Failed’, ‘No Service’.

Major service providers, Vodafone, Jio, and Airtel, were non-functional throughout the underground stretch. Some commuters believe this is a temporary issue due to line expansion, while others point to a dispute between the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MMRCL) and telecom companies.
