Heavy rain strands Rajdhani passengers as train remains halted near Mumbai

Hundreds of passengers aboard the Delhi-Mumbai Tejas Rajdhani remained stranded as relentless rainfall disrupted rail services in Gujarat and Maharashtra. The train, scheduled to reach Borivali on Thursday morning, remained halted at Valsad late in the evening as flooding and adverse weather affected operations near Palghar and Dahanu.

I may have jinxed my own plans by telling everyone who asked why I took a train and not a flight that it’s a Rajdhani; it never gets late. Well, am eating my words. I took the Tejas Rajdhani from Delhi to Mumbai on July 22, which was supposed to reach Borivli at 7.30 am on July 23. It’s July 23, 9.20 pm, and the train is parked at Valsad station, around two hours from Borivli, but right now very far away as the rain has been slamming down on Valsad, Palghar, and Dahanu districts.
