Commuters faced major inconvenience on Friday morning as services on Mumbai’s Trans-Harbour line were abruptly suspended following a girder misalignment during overnight construction work at Airoli. Thousands of daily passengers were left stranded or forced to find alternate transport options during peak hours, causing significant delays and crowding at nearby stations.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) had undertaken the night block to install 10 girders between Airoli and Rabale.
