No rain, but Mumbai's Western Railway locals are running up to 20 minutes late after a technical failure between Dadar and Churchgate hit both up and down lines Friday morning.

A sudden technical snag between Dadar and Churchgate stations threw Western Railway’s suburban services into chaos on Friday morning, with local trains running 15 to 20 minutes behind schedule.
