Water Temporarily Closed At Kalyan Railway Station

Amid the ongoing heatwave, the water supply to Kalyan Railway Station was temporarily closed over the weekend reportedly because of unpaid dues worth Rs. 4.41 crore.

As one of the busiest junctions on Mumbai's suburban railway network, this interruption raised concerns. The water supply was cut off on Saturday evening but was restored by Sunday after the railway authorities made partial payments, including Rs. 1.17 crore of the outstanding bill.
