On Wednesday, November 5, once again a technical glitch occurred during the testing of new monorail coaches in Wadala, Mumbai. Due to this fault during the trial run, the monorail had to be stopped midway. In this incident, the front part of the mono rail was damaged, while a member of the team engaged in the repair work suffered minor injuries.

According to Mono Rail officials, it was part of a routine testing procedure, but questions are being raised as to how the part of the train got damaged and how did the employee get injured? At present, an official statement from the Mono Rail management is awaited. There were no passengers present in the monorail at the time of the incident. Only members of the maintenance team were involved in the trial.

It is noteworthy that a similar incident had happened in September also when the running mono rail suddenly stopped. After this, mono rail services were temporarily suspended from September 20 due to security reasons. Since that time, repair and system upgrade work has been ongoing. This latest incident in Wadala is once again raising questions on the safety and technical reliability of Mumbai Mono Rail.

The Mumbai Monorail, said to be the country’s first monorail service, was launched in February 2014. It is operated by Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).

The mono rail route extends from Chembur to Sant Gadge Maharaj Chowk (Jacob Circle). This 19.5 kilometer long route connects 17 stations, which include major stations like Wadala, Dadar (Naigaon) and Mahalaxmi.

Testing underway for system upgrade in Mono Rail

The cost of this project is said to be around ₹3,000 crore. It was constructed in collaboration with L&T and Scomi Engineering of Malaysia.
