Torrential rain early this morning led to severe flooding at Nagpur Railway Station, leaving platforms waterlogged and train tracks submerged under knee-deep water. The deluge brought several key services to a halt, creating chaos for thousands of passengers.
Visuals from the station show stagnant water pooling across the tracks and platform areas, with water reaching up to the base of halted trains. Commuters struggled to navigate the waterlogged premises, while railway authorities rushed to manage the situation.
Officials from Central Railway confirmed that multiple trains were delayed or diverted due to track inundation. Emergency pumping operations were launched, and inspection teams are currently assessing potential electrical and signaling hazards.
The flooding is the result of a heavy downpour that began late Tuesday night, overwhelming the city’s drainage capacity. The disruption has once again spotlighted the poor monsoon preparedness of one of the busiest junctions in Central India.
Railway authorities have urged passengers to check real-time updates on train schedules before arriving at the station. With the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting more rain in the coming days, officials are on high alert
