India, Sept. 15 -- Monorail services in Mumbai were disrupted for a second time in less than a month amid heavy rain on Monday morning. Officials said a technical glitch halted a monorail car, with 17 passengers on board, on a curved section of the elevated track between Antop Hill and GTB Nagar near Wadala at 7.16 am. A firefighter truck was rushed to the spot to rescue the stranded passengers.

"As per safety protocols, all 17 passengers on board were swiftly and safely transferred to another train and taken to the next station by 7.40am. The affected train is being towed away. Passenger safety remains our top priority," said a Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL) spokesperson.
