# Diva gate delay halts Central Railway services beyond Thane 2026-08-06T15:56:25+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Central Railway services between Thane and Kalyan stopped on Wednesday after Level Crossing Gate No. 29 at Diva remained open for nearly 25 minutes from 11.49 am, instead of the usual three to five minutes. The Times of India reports that trains bunched up across all six lines, leaving passengers stranded between Mumbra and Diva without information. The disruption also affected routes towards Konkan and the Western Railway interchange. The crossing is opened several times daily because a road overbridge remains incomplete. Railways have finished the section over the tracks, but approach ramps being built by the Thane Municipal Corporation face land acquisition problems. A civic official said work on the eastern ramp would begin soon, while the western side is before a court. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Central Railway, Diva, level crossing, road overbridge, Thane Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/diva-gate-delay-halts-central-railway-services-beyond-thane/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
