Clarification: Mumbai monorail train suffered technical failure, not 'near mishap' as reported earlier

On Saturday evening, Firstpost  erroneously published an article stating that two monorail trains happened to be travelling on the same track and a collision was averted in the nick of time. We sincerely apologise for the inadvertent error. Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) clarified that the monorail train suffered a technical issue, and a second train had to be sent to rescue the stranded one.  Images of the two trains standing face to face on the tracks near Chembur quickly made their way to social media and were picked up by several websites, including Firstpost .

A case of how websites sensationalise news. One monorail was sent to rescue a stranded one. Didn't expect this from @firstpost https://t.co/tdWfYtKyGr

A clarification from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) attributed the incident to a “power failure” in one of the rakes. “One rake had suffered a power failure. So another was sent to tow away the affected rake,” it said.
