Master Stroke: Monsoon is no longer pleasant for Mumbai

round 2,000 passengers of two Mumbai-bound trains, that got stuck between Nallasopara and Vasai stations of the Western Railway due to water-logging this morning, were rescued by the NDRF and the police.
In a joint operation, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), the police and fire brigade personnel rescued all the 2,000 passengers of Shatabdi Express and Vadodara Express, a Palghar district official said.
The Vadodara Express which departed Vadodara Junction last night was expected to reach its destination Mumbai Central at 4:45 am today.
Palghar district residential collector Navnath Jare told PTI: "Water level between Nallasopara and Vasai stations rose to more than two metre due to heavy rain and a
high tide this morning."
"We have called an NDRF team comprising 43 personnel along with six boats to the spot. They are helping personnel of the police and fire brigade," Jare said.
He said some passengers were stuck in Vadodara Express since 4 this morning.
