South East Central Railway (SECR) has installed a high-pressure misting system at Bilaspur Junction to help passengers deal with the intense heatwave. The system uses foggers and water sprinklers on platform roofs to lower the temperature. This initiative provides a cooling effect similar to air conditioning for people waiting for their trains.
Which stations have the water misting system
The SECR has implemented this cooling system across several key stations to ensure passenger comfort during the summer. The primary locations include:
- Bilaspur Junction (including Platform No. 1)
- Raipur
- Durg
- Rajnandgaon
- Gondia
How does the fogger system work for passengers
The high-pressure misting system releases very fine droplets of water from the platform ceilings. These droplets evaporate quickly, reducing the surrounding temperature and providing immediate relief from the heat. Railway officials stated that this system is most effective during the afternoon when temperatures peak. Along with the foggers, the railway is also providing cold drinking water and sharbat to passengers.
Other summer measures by Indian Railways
To combat the extreme weather in 2026, the Indian Railways introduced several wide-scale measures across the country. In April 2026, the authority announced the operation of over 900 summer special trains. Additionally, free water bottles were made available on platforms to keep travelers hydrated during the heatwave.
