Mumbai: Suburban train services along the Western Railway were briefly affected during the day because of an incident of fire along the tracks in Dharavi in Mumbai on Saturday.
The fire has been doused and railway services have commenced, according to officials of the Western Railway (WR) and the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
The fire was reported on hutments in the Narang Compound off the 60-Feet Road in Dharavi.
The fire was reported around 1230 hrs in the hutment between Mahim and Bandra stations.
A probe has been ordered to ascertain the exact cause of the fire.
As the fire is very close to the railway tracks, local train services between Bandra and Mahim on the Harbour line have been temporarily suspended.
The services have now been restored.
