A rail inspection tower wagon 'Vaitarna' that was servicing the overhead equipment between Asangaon and Kasara derailed near Umbarmali shortly after midnight hitting the suburban train services of the Central Railway (CR) here on Friday, an official said. While the restoration work was going on at war footing, there was a public agitation at Vasind by commuters due to which suburban trains were restrained till Titwala only.

Thousands of commuters launched an agitation as there were no suburban train services between Asangaon-Kasara. The protests were controlled by 8:15, but that didn't help as it delayed the restoration work. Mail Express train movement has started on single line for UP and DN direction. However, there will be delay in clearing all mail Express trains due to bunching.
