High drama prevailed on the Western Railway after officials received a call from the Disaster Management Cell of the BMC claiming that the vehicular subway under the railway line at Khar was structurally unstable and dangerous with reports of soil erosion.

"Because the call came from the DM Cell, we did not take any risk and shut down all lines around 5 pm. We then sent railway engineers at the site; after a thorough inspection, the bridge was found to be completely safe with no risk element. Once the certification was received, services were restarted around 5.45 pm," a WR spokesperson said.
