Vent out: Curtains on route linking Croma Road to ORR

A senior Railway official told BM, “The vent was created to allow water to flow. Earlier, the stretch used to be closed for vehicular traffic and it was opened at the request of local leaders. But whenever it rains and there is waterlogging, the blame is on the Railways. We have now decided to close the stretch permanently even on non-rainy days. We have erected big signages and blocked the entry for motorists.”

It's that sinking feeling again at Chroma Road

However, he also questioned the feasibility of monitoring the Chroma road vent. He said, “Yesterday could have been another KR circle, but closing down the vent might not be feasible.
