Waterlogging At Nagpur Railway Station Entrance
Passengers were badly inconvenienced on Thursday afternoon after rainwater flooded the entrance of Nagpur railway station. Major upgrade works are ongoing at the railway station, adding to the chaos. Last week, tracks were flooded following heavy rains, but train traffic remained unaffected. On Thursday, railway officials said water didn't enter the railway station but only the front portion. Officials said civic authorities were informed about the flooding, which was cleared to resume smooth passenger movement.
