This is not the first time such an incident has happened at this location. Just days prior, on Sunday, another harbour-line local train had derailed at the same spot. Although no injuries were reported in that incident as well, it caused significant disruptions to traffic for hours.
Authorities are likely to conduct a thorough investigation into the recurring derailments at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus to determine the root cause and implement necessary measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
