MUMBAI: Monorail services in Mumbai were today disrupted apparently due to power failure, leaving 11 passengers stranded inside the train near Bhakti Park in Wadala area.

According to a fire brigade official, they got a call this morning about some passengers being stuck in the monorail near Wadala.

"We got a call at around 9 AM about the incident and immediately our rescue team reached the spot and we have managed to rescue 11 people," the official said.
