A current Mumbai local timetable guide says April 14 services otherwise run on a Sunday schedule. (trainhelp.in) Other city agencies are also adding transport and security for the same event. The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport undertaking is running additional buses, and the Konkan divisional administration has ordered tighter security and infrastructure arrangements. (freepressjournal.in) For passengers, the change is narrow but practical: four trains, two corridors, one overnight window, aimed at getting people to and from Dadar, Kalyan, and Panvel after the city’s regular late-night peak.
