Rail tracks go under water in city for poor drainage
The railway lines between Gandaria Railway Station and Jurain Bazar go under water at least at 10 places after a heavy shower due to lack of proper drainage system. This could cause train accidents. Locals blame filling up of water bodies, construction of illegal structures beside the lines and lack of proper drainage system for the problem. The Dhaka-Narayanganj train service is sometimes postponed when the stagnant rainwater rises above the rails, said an official of Bangladesh Railway.
