A fire occurred late on Sunday night between Nallasopara and Virar, damaging important signalling equipment. Train operations on the Western Railway were disrupted due to failed track circuits in that section. As a result, trains from the UP heading towards Mumbai experienced delays while passing two signals.

The fire was reported at around 11:20 pm on Sunday and was extinguished within 30 minutes. No injuries were reported.

Western Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Vineet Abhishek stated that the incident occurred in the area and that efforts are underway to restore normal operations. Both local and long-distance services toward Mumbai were affected; operations are being monitored for further impact.
