Mumbai ki Western Railway (WR) ne 2024 monsoon season ke liye apni flood-prevention infrastructure ko badhaya hai, jisme high-capacity dewatering pumps ki deployment mein 17% ka izafa kiya gaya hai. Is initiative ka uddeshya train services ko disrupt karne wali track par waterlogging ko kam karna hai, jo ki heavy rainfall ke dauran historically dekha gaya hai. Yeh move railway ki operational resilience ko badhane ke prayaas ko darshata hai, jo ki India ke sabse densely populated urban corridors mein se ek hai. Western Railway ne is saal 17 naye high-capacity pumps procure kiye hain aur install kiye hain, jisse total 120 units ho gaye hain 42 locations par WR network par. Ye pumps, jo ki 1,500 cubic meters paani per hour handle kar sakte hain, strategically flood-prone areas jaise ki Andheri, Bandra, Dadar, aur Mahim mein place kiye gaye hain. Yeh decision commuters aur local authorities ki complaints ke baad aaya hai, jo ki pehle monsoon ke dauran waterlogging ke kaaran significant delays aur cancellations ho gaye the. WR officials ke anusaar, pumps round-the-clock monsoon ke dauran operational rahege, jo ki ek dedicated control room dwara monitor kiye jayenge. "Humne vulnerable stretches identify kiye hain aur pumps ko quick water removal ke liye position kiya hai," kaha ek senior WR official ne, jo ki anonymity chahte the. Railway ne staff ko emergency response protocols par train karne ke liye mock drills bhi conduct kiye hain. Iske alawa, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) ke saath coordination ko strengthen kiya gaya hai taaki railway tracks ke paas drainage bottlenecks ko clear kiya ja sake. Yeh initiative ₹500 crore monsoon preparedness plan ka hissa hai, jo ki track repairs, improved signaling, aur better drainage systems ko include karta hai. Pichle saal, waterlogging ke kaaran 150 se zyada train delays aur cancellations ho gaye the heavy rains ke dauran. Is expanded pump network ke saath, WR expects ki disruptions ko reduce kiya ja sakega aur punctuality ko improve kiya ja sakega upcoming season mein. Commuters aur civic activists ne is move ko welcome kiya hai, lekin unhone long-term solutions ki maang ki hai, jisme better urban planning aur stormwater management shamil hai.
