On September 4, a bus caught fire beneath the Aarey Metro station in Mumbai's Goregaon area, causing panic and temporarily disrupting metro services in the region. Eyewitnesses reported seeing smoke billowing from the bus before it was fully engulfed in flames, accompanied by a loud explosion-like sound.
The specific cause of the fire remains unclear at this time. The incident prompted a commotion in the vicinity as fire brigade personnel and other emergency services rushed to the scene. However, officials have not yet confirmed whether passengers were onboard the bus when it caught fire or if any injuries occurred.
Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation (MMMOCL), the operator of the metro system, issued a statement confirming that the Aarey Metro station premises were not directly impacted by the fire. The intense smoke generated by the blaze led authorities to evacuate passengers from the station area as a precautionary measure. Trains were temporarily barred from stopping at the Aarey Metro station to prevent any smoke from infiltrating the coaches and potentially endangering passengers.
As the smoke dissipated, MMMOCL confirmed that metro services had returned to normal operations.
