Mumbai: A technical glitch caused the Metro Line 7 train on the Andheri–Dahisar stretch to stop at Gundavli station for about 15 minutes on Thursday, February 19, leading to passengers' dismay during peak-hour office travel. According to reports, the incident took place at about 11 am.
The visuals showed passengers forced to deboard the train, and the sudden stoppage of services also led to a rush at the station. Currently, there is no update from the Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation (MMMOCL) about what caused the glitch.
Last year in November, Mumbai’s Versova–Ghatkopar Metro corridor (Mumbai Metro One) had suffered a technical snag, leading to delayed services and overcrowding across several stations. The disruption occurred between Versova and Azad Nagar, leaving commuters stranded and prompting a wave of complaints on social media.
Prior to that, in October, thousands of commuters faced major inconvenience as metro rail services on Mumbai’s Line 2A and Line 7 were disrupted due to a technical glitch, causing significant delays during peak travel hours. The MMMOCL also posted on X (formerly Twitter), informing about the slight delay. However, stranded commuters painted a more chaotic picture. Several users complained of being stuck for 30 minutes, while another user added that his train was just arriving at Dahanukarwadi and had stopped for 20 minutes at a previous station. Another user complained of no transparency by the authorities during peak hour on a working day.
