Mumbai Railways Pump Oxygen into Nullah for Safe Monsoon Cleaning and Flood Mitigation
Ahead of the monsoon season, Mumbai railway authorities conducted a first-of-its-kind operation by pumping oxygen into a 250-metre-long Dadar-Dharavi nullah beneath the Matunga railway workshop. This measure aimed to neutralize toxic gases like methane, ensuring the safety of conservancy workers during cleaning and desilting. Supported by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, the effort restored the nullah's drainage capacity, addressing flooding and waterlogging issues that have historically disrupted train operations in the area.
