In view of the ongoing Ganpati festival in the city , the Western Railway has announced that there will be no block on its suburban section on Sunday, 15th September 2024. This decision has been made to ensure smooth travel for the large number of devotees and commuters during the festive period.

Typically, maintenance blocks are scheduled over weekends to carry out essential works, but considering the significant passenger movement and the importance of Ganpati festival in Mumbai, the authorities have deferred any such blockages.
