Several spots in south Mumbai, including the stretch between Churchgate and Marine Lines railway stations, were waterlogged on Thursday, apparently owing to the ongoing Coastal Road work. Western Railway (WR) and civic officials jointly visited the affected spot to assess the situation.

On the Churchgate-Marine Lines section, waterlogging was witnessed due to the ongoing Coastal Road work. There was slight waterlogging up to the rail level. However, train operations were running smoothly. Due to Coastal Road work, excavated debris is blocking the outfall, which is why outfall culverts are operating at half capacity. All manholes on the west side of the tracks till Marine Drive are overflowing. The site has been visited by the officials concerned. Action is being taken on high priority,” a WR spokesperson said.
