Trains services hit at Kalyan station after man climbs OHE mast
Mumbai (PTI): Train services were disrupted at Kalyan railway station in Maharashtra's Thane district on Sunday after a man climbed an overhead equipment (OHE) mast, prompting the authorities to switch off the power supply, officials said.
The incident occurred around 2 pm when the man climbed the pole supplying electricity to platforms 1, 1A and 2, a Central Railway official said.
As a safety measure, power supply on the Down line between Thakurli and Ambivli was switched off, holding up two outstation trains and three suburban locals, said Swapnil Nila, Chief Public Relations Officer of Central Railway.
"Efforts are underway to rescue the man from the mast," he said, adding that railway staff and emergency teams were at the spot.
This is the second major disruption of the suburban services on the main line of the Central Railway during the day.
Outstation train services were disrupted in the morning hours after a crane's zip wire got entangled with an overhead wire at Khadavali railway station in Thane district, officials said.
The disruption occurred in the Kasara-Kalyan section during a scheduled crane block from 2.45 am to 4 am for platform extension work.
The movement of trains between Kalyan and Kasara resumed after 6 am, they said.
