After last year’s experience with waterlogging on railway tracks, the BMC has decided to increase the capacity of dewatering pumps on tracks. The civic body will install high-pressure pumps at 28 places. It has also asked the Railway authority to complete pre-monsoon work before May 31.

“Pumps will be installed at 18 places on the Central and Harbour lines, and at 10 places on the Western line. These pumps will be helpful in preventing waterlogging and help rapid pumping of water on railway tracks during heavy rain,” said a Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation official.
