An injured pigeon delayed morning trains on the Harbour line for five minutes on Wednesday as officials disconnected power supply while trying to save it. The pigeon was hanging from an overhead wire mast near Goregaon station and railway officials managed to save it with some help from the fire brigade.

"At 10 am on Wednesday, a passenger informed deputy station superintendent at Goregaon about the pigeon stuck on the wire. The fire brigade was immediately alerted and power was shut down for five minutes at 10.28 am. The overhead wire staff along with the fire brigade managed to rescue the bird immediately after," Western Railway chief spokesperson Ravinder Bhakar said.
