ULHAS RIVER

July 28, 2019

A coordinated operation of the NDRF, the Army and the Navy rescued 1,050 passengers stranded on the Mumbai-Kolhapur Mahalaxmi Express near Badlapur, following heavy overnight rains that inundated large swathes of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).

About: 

  • Mahalaxmi Express runs between Mumbai and Kolhapur. 

  • It was held up between Badlapur and Wangani railway station due to water logging on tracks as the Ulhas river near Badlapur breached its banks.
