Mumbai: 2 Roof-Climbing Incidents Reported On Central Railway In 3 Days | VIDEO

Mumbai's Central Railway has experienced two roof-climbing incidents in the span of three days, causing train delays and temporary power outages. On Wednesday evening, someone scaled the roof of a local train at Kanjurmarg station, prompting a safety shutdown. The overhead electrical supply (OHE) was cut off at 7:58 PM, and the train resumed its journey after the OHE was reactivated at 8:05 PM.

Another roof-climbing case was reported at Vikhroli station on the same day. A more alarming incident unfolded at Ghatkopar station, where a man dangerously approached a 25 kV overhead line while on the roof of a local train. He received a severe electric shock and burns, leading to an immediate power cut and a high-risk rescue operation by railway officials.

A similar event occurred at Ghatkopar on August 18, with an unidentified man also coming into contact with the OHE. For insights on affordable property options in Mumbai and the surrounding areas, explore [budgetproperties.in](https://budgetproperties.in/).
