Raigad: A goods train derailed on Saturday afternoon in Maharashtra’s Raigad district, disrupting operations on the Panvel-Vasai route, the Central Railway said.
Nobody was injured in the incident, as per the preliminary information.
Central Railway Chief Public Relations Office (CPRO) Shivraj Manaspure said four wagons, including a brake van, of the freight train, headed to Vasai (in Palghar district) from Panvel (in Raigad district), derailed on the Panvel-Kalamboli section at around 3.05 pm.
Restoration work to start soon
“ART (Accident relief train) from Kalyan and Kurla stations is being sent to the accident site,” Manaspure said, adding that a Road ART has been sent from Panvel to the accident site.
He said the restoration work will start soon.
After the incident, at least five passenger trains were detained at various spots on the Konkan-Mumbai route.
However, Navi Mumbai suburban services between the Panvel-CSMT section were unaffected as the incident occurred on the Panvel-Kalamboli railway line, which further leads to Mumbai and Vasai.
Notably, Railway authorities have planned a 38-hour mega block between Panvel and Belapur stations of Harbour and Trans-Harbour corridors beginning Saturday night for laying two new lines under the Dedicated Freight Corridor.

Your Car Is Here? BMC Proposes Parking App For Mumbaikar To Ease Congestion
Mumbai: Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is representing the parking app to track your car and to book a parking space in Mumbai. In the video of Budget 2025 posted on X (formerly Twitter) shared details about the App.
The civic body said, “Parking app to set up for booking vehicle slots in advance and online payment.”
How parking app will work?
Parking app can help Mumbaikars take the slot of parking space and track it online. In the budget for 2025-26, BMC has mentioned multiple city developments. Apart from the parking app, BMC also showed the multilevel parking structure in a video on X.
Top 4 Advantages of the Parking App
Optimised parking: Using a parking app on your phone will help you track your vehicle and park more efficiently, and assist you in booking slots from your home.
Reduced traffic: Since most cars are parked on the road and take up space, the parking app will assist in reducing traffic in the city and make your daily journey easier.
Time management: As the parking app is accessible via phone, you may schedule your car service from wherever you are in the city, and it offers an authorized guarantee.
Safety and Independent Parking Space: Because you have reserved a spot, the parking app grants you an independent parking space, making you the only person using the designated parking spot. It also offers the significant benefit of increased vehicle safety while parking and in-system parking.
About Multilevel Robotic Car Parking
The civic body also posted on X about the Multilevel Robotic Car Parking in Mumbai, mentioning: ”Work orders have been issued for 194 capacity multilevel Car parking near Apsara Pen Shop, Flora Fountain (Hutatma Chowk) in A Ward. Also, tender process for 640 Four Wheelers and 112 Two Wheeler space at Worli Engineering Hub in G/S ward and contractor has been appointed. In future the parking space available will be for around 834 vehicles. The budget provision for the proposed work is ₹200 crore.”
