Mumbai: A monorail tilted during a test run at Mumbai's Wadala depot this morning, officials said. But there were no passengers inside the train. No one was injured in the incident, they said.
In photos and videos shared on social media, the train was seen leaning slightly.
The accident was reported at 9 am today. Two staff members have been rescued safely from the monorail, a fire department official said.
The Maha Mumbai Metro Rail Operations Limited has not yet issued an official statement on the incident.
According to initial information, the train was conducting a signalling test when the incident occurred and it suffered minor damage.

In the wake of repeated technical issues, monorail passenger services in Mumbai have been suspended from September 20 until further notice for system upgrade work, officials had earlier said.
The Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has formed a committee to conduct a detailed investigation into the technical glitches affecting monorail services in recent times.
