Major outage paralyses parts of CR, services disrupted until noon

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: A major power outage caused trains on a section of the Central Railway to stop dead in their tracks for 20-30 minutes early on Saturday, triggering a cascading effect that disrupted suburban and outstation services until noon. CR engineers said technical failures like this indicate systemic issues in Tata Power’s jurisdiction, and corrective measures, including enhanced maintenance schedules and thorough inspections of critical equipment, are essential to prevent a recurrence. Tata Power flatly denied it was at fault, stating that electricity supply from the Chola substation of the Central Railway had been disrupted due to a “lightening arrestor failure” in Kalyan at 6.01 am. According to a Tata Power spokesperson, “Further, the Central Railway attempted to restore the supply from the other line, without isolating the fault at their end. Finally, at 6.50 am, Central Railway resumed the supply on this line, after isolation of faulty equipment at their end,” said a Tata Power spokesperson.
