A major power outage on Sunday morning has left parts of the city, including south Mumbai, without electricity and also brought local trains to a standstill.

"Trains have not moved for over 20 minutes. No train has left Churchgate," Jay Dixit, a commuter said.
Western Railway chief public relations officer Sumit Thakur confirmed the development and said power supply had been affected and trains were not moving.
