Monorail services in Mumbai were disrupted on Saturday after a train going to Chembur stopped functioning due to a power failure. The power failure on Monorail track in the city led to emergency evacuation of coaches at Chembur station in the evening. Passengers who were inside the rake that suffered power failure were helped out using the keys of the monorail staff. The pictures of the trains led to speculation that the two rakes came face-to-face and a head-on collision was averted but MMRDA authorities denied reports that two monorail trains nearly crashed. The Mumbai monorail, the first such service in the country, was inaugurated in 2014 and runs a 8.93-km-long route between Chembur and Wadala.
