Huge fire reaches Bandra station in Mumbai, major train line shuts down

The overhead pedestrian bridge at the Bandra station, one of Mumbai's busiest, is engulfed in flames at rush hour after a fire erupted in a slum nearby.
16 fire engines and nearly as many water tankers are being used to fight the fire, which began at 3.45 pm in the Behrampada slum; the sky is filled with smoke



at Bandra, the trendy western suburb of the financial capital.
The skywalk near the eastern exit of the large station is on fire, a part of it has collapsed.
Trains have been stopped on the Andheri-Wadala stretch of the Harbour Line, one the city's three main local lines, because the fire is close to the tracks.
