Jabalpur: Water leakage from train roof

Jabalpur: A video has surfaced showing water leakage from the roof of a coach of the Jabalpur-Nizamuddin Express, following which railway authorities said the complaint has been dealt with and action taken against the staff concerned for slack supervision. The opposition Congress targeted the government, saying there was a “waterfall facility in the train” for passengers. In the video, water is seen leaking from a vent on the coach roof. The clip was shot in the coach of the Jabalpur-Nizamuddin Express (22181) on Monday, West Central Railway’s Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) Harshit Shrivastava told PTI on Tuesday.

In the video, water is seen dripping from the roof, he noted.

As soon as the information was received, authorities attended to the complaint at Damoh, Sagar (in Madhya Pradesh) and Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh) stations, he said. After the train reached Hazrat Nizamuddin (in New Delhi), its repair work was being done. The coach will not be used until the repair work is completed, Shrivastava said.

“Action is also being taken against the employee responsible for this,” he added.
