Services on the Mumbai-Pune railway were disrupted from late Thursday as heavy rain led to boulders and muck falling on the tracks at the Nagnath-Palasdhari part of the Lonavala-Karjat Ghat section. 

The incident took place around midnight and services were restored at 8.15 am on Friday.  The incident came to light thanks to an on-duty patrolman. “Motiram Lobhi detected the boulders and immediately protected the track. He stopped one banker (Loco), which was in the section, by showing a red signal,” said Shivaji Sutar, chief PRO, CR.
