Western Railway recently announced that it is fully prepared for the monsoon, with a detailed action plan shared with all staff through a Monsoon Precaution Booklet that outlines steps to reduce damage, maintain service, and keep passengers informed.

The service said it has cleaned 58 culverts and over 55 km of drains. It has also constructed 3 km of new drainage lines and manholes to facilitate the easy flow of water from railway yards. Around 480 special train trips have been used to clear muck and garbage.

Several measures have also been taken to prevent waterlogging, such as installing dewatering pumps and creating additional pipe openings using advanced micro-tunnelling methods. Drones and floating cameras are also being used to inspect drains and ensure they are properly cleaned.
