MUMBAI, August 13: Suburban train services on the harbour line of the Central Railway (CR) were disrupted today as commuters resorted to an agitation at Vashi station after a train was cancelled following a bomb hoax.

Due to the agitation, both the up and down lines beyond Mankhurd station were blocked. However, trains continued to ply between Mankhurd and CST.
