A viral video showing water leaking from the roof of a Jabalpur-Nizamuddin Express coach has led to immediate action by railway authorities and criticism from the opposition Congress. The incident, documented in the video, prompted railway officials to address the leakage at Damoh, Sagar, and Jhansi stations.

The Chief Public Relations Officer of West Central Railway, Harshit Shrivastava, confirmed the incident and noted that repair work began once the train reached Hazrat Nizamuddin in New Delhi. He also mentioned that the involved coach would remain out of service until repairs were completed.

The Congress shared the video on its social media handle, mocking the situation by saying the railway had introduced a 'waterfall facility' for passengers. In response, Jabalpur Divisional Railway Manager assured that responsible staff would face disciplinary action and that repairs would be prioritized.
