Mumbai Train Services Disrupted by Rail Fracture, Injuries Reported
A broken part of the train track (rail fracture) caused some trouble for Mumbai's train services.
Four people got hurt when they were hit by a train while walking on the tracks.
The trains were delayed but are now running on time again.
The railway is also trying to keep trains cleaner for passengers.
A rail fracture disrupted Mumbai suburban train services on the Central Railway's Down slow/local line between Vikhroli and Kanjur Marg stations on Tuesday morning.
Four people were injured after being hit by a moving local train near Mumbai's Sandhurst Road railway station on the Harbour-Central line.
