Instead of heavy rains, it was a Jamun tree that made the life of Western Railway authorities and commuters miserable yesterday. An old Jamun tree fell on the roof above platform 1 of Malad station. The tree broke through the asbestos sheets and snapped the overhead wire. The tree then fell on the tracks, leading to temporary stoppage of trains on the slow line towards Borivli.
