Smoke Incident Briefly Disrupts Mumbai Metro 3 at Airport T2 Station

The swift response highlights safety protocols on the underground airport corridor.

Overview

  • Smoke inside the underground CSMIA T2 station prompted an evacuation and trains to skip the airport stop.
  • Mumbai Fire Brigade deployed three engines and two jumbo tankers, and crews used breathing gear to work through the smoke.
  • MMRCL said trains skipped the airport stop and the Sahar Road–Aarey stretch saw brief delays, which crowded platforms.
  • No injuries were reported, and authorities are probing the blaze that began in a technical room.
  • Officials restored service and labeled it a minor smoke incident, a reminder of ongoing fire-safety focus after a 2024 underground station fire at Bandra-Kurla Complex.
