चेन्नई से आने वाली ट्रेनों में पानी खत्म हो गया है, दक्षिणी रेलवे जरूरतों को पूरा करने के लिए संघर्ष कर रहाDue to the severe water shortage in Tamil Nadu, the Southern Railway is struggling to provide adequate water supply to its trains. The problem is particularly acute in Chennai Central and Coimbatore, where some intercity and long-distance express trains have run out of water within two to three hours of departure,...

The Southern Railway usually supplies 50% of the required water on weekdays (Monday to Thursday) and 75% on weekends (Friday to Sunday), but due to the shortage, they have halved the supply on weekdays, even during peak summer vacation periods. This has resulted in some trains leaving Chennai Central with only 25% of their normal water capacity. Railway officials are closely monitoring the situation and departmental action is being taken against employees responsible for water supply failures. While some long-distance trains are able to get water at designated refilling stations, maintaining coaches, including daily washing, and providing drinking water at stations is proving to be a major challenge. Passengers on special trains are disproportionately impacted. The Southern Railway has designated stations like Katpadi, Jolarpettai, Salem, and Erode for refilling train tanks on the Chennai-Coimbatore section and Chengalpattu, Villupuram, Tiruchi, Madurai, and Tirunelveli for the Chennai-Nagercoil route. Despite complaints and efforts to address the problem, water shortages remain persistent due to the depletion of groundwater levels in areas like Basin Bridge, Mannady, Perambur, and surrounding regions. The Southern Railway relies heavily on Chennai Metro Water and private tankers for water supply to its coaching depots and stations. Despite efforts to conserve water, including the use of recycled water, the shortage continues to pose challenges. The situation is particularly acute at Basin Bridge coaching yard, which requires 12 lakh liters of water per day, and MGR Chennai Central and Chennai Egmore stations, each requiring 10 lakh liters per day. These stations are heavily dependent on private tankers for water supply. The Southern Railway is committed to addressing this situation and has taken steps to mitigate the impact of the water shortage, but the lack of water continues to be a significant concern.
Tamil Nadu mein pani ki kami ki wajah se, Southern Railway apni trains mein kaafi pani supply nahin kar pa raha hai. Chennai Central aur Coimbatore mein yeh problem bahut zyada hai, jahaan kuchh intercity aur long-distance express trains ko chalaane ke do ya teen ghante ke andar hi pani khatam...

Chennai Central-Salem route pe, trains mein pani na hone ki wajah se toilets itne ganda ho gaye hain ki unka use bhi nahin ho pa raha hai. Southern Railway aamtaur par weekdays mein (Monday se Thursday) 50% aur weekends mein (Friday se Sunday) 75% pani supply karta hai, lekin abhi pani ki kami ki wajah se, weekdays mein supply aadh kar di gayi hai, aur woh bhi jab summer vacation chalu hai. Is wajah se, Chennai Central se chalne wali trains mein unki normal water capacity ka sirf 25% pani hai. Railway officials is situation pe nazar rakh rahe hain aur jo karmchari pani supply nahin kar pa rahe hain, unke khilaf action liya ja raha hai. Kuchh long-distance trains ko aage wale refilling stations par pani mil jaata hai, lekin coaches ko maintain karna, rozana dhoona, aur stations pe peene ka pani provide karna, yeh sab bahut mushkil ho gaya hai. Special trains ke passengers ko yeh problem zyada affect kar rahi hai. Southern Railway ne Chennai-Coimbatore section pe Katpadi, Jolarpettai, Salem, aur Erode stations ko, aur Chennai-Nagercoil route pe Chengalpattu, Villupuram, Tiruchi, Madurai, aur Tirunelveli stations ko, train tanks ko refill karne ke liye designate kiya hai. Passengers ki complaints aur problem solve karne ke efforts ke bawjood, pani ki kami chali aa rahi hai kyonki Basin Bridge, Mannady, Perambur, aur aas-paas ke areas mein groundwater ka level bahut kam ho gaya hai. Southern Railway apne coaching depots aur stations pe pani supply ke liye Chennai Metro Water aur private tankers pe nirbhar hai. Pani bachane ke liye kai efforts kiye ja rahe hain, jaise recycled water ka use karna, lekin pani ki kami ki wajah se bahut problems aa rahi hain. Basin Bridge coaching yard ko har din 12 lakh liters pani ki jarurat hoti hai, aur MGR Chennai Central aur Chennai Egmore stations ko har din 10 lakh liters pani ki jarurat hoti hai. Yeh sab stations private tankers pe nirbhar hain pani supply ke liye. Southern Railway yeh problem solve karne ke liye kaam kar raha hai aur pani ki kami ke impact ko kam karne ke liye kadam uthaye gaye hain, lekin pani ki kami abhi bhi ek badi chinta hai.
