Service restoration
Emergency engineering teams deployed
Emergency engineering teams were deployed to stabilize the track bed and after urgent restoration work, limited train operations were resumed. The up line was cleared for trains at a restricted speed of 10km/h at 7:27am while the down line was cleared soon after at a restricted speed of 30km/h. However, this disruption caused cascading delays of over half an hour across the network.

The heavy rainfall also led to waterlogging in several areas of Mumbai, including the Andheri underpass. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had to close the underpass due to safety concerns. A retaining wall near a residential building also collapsed in Vikhroli West amid the downpour. Dadar station was also waterlogged, affecting daily commuters and further adding to the city's woes.
