Five wagons of a goods train derailed at Boisar station, near Mumbai, without affecting rail traffic. No injuries were reported, and efforts are underway to re-rail the wagons. This follows another recent derailment in WR's Mumbai division.

Five wagons of a goods train derailed in the yard of Western Railway's Boisar station, some 100 kilometres from Mumbai, on Saturday morning. According to officials, the incident had no impact on rail traffic.

The train, loaded with containers, derailed at 6:45am. No casualties were reported in the incident, and the movement of suburban or long-distance trains remained unaffected since it occurred within the yard. Vinit Abhishek, the WR chief public relations officer, stated that efforts are ongoing to re-rail the wagons.

This marks the second derailment on the Western Railway's network in Mumbai division in less than 10 days. On July 19, a similar incident occurred at Dungri station near Valsad in Gujarat while railway minister Ashwini Vaishnav was holding a review meeting at WR's Churchgate headquarters.
