Trains Affected as Old Clock Tower Collapses at Kozhikode Railway Station
- A century-old clock tower at Kozhikode Railway Station in Kerala collapsed onto Platform 2 and nearby railway tracks on Thursday morning, causing debris to fall without causing injuries or casualties.
- The clock tower had been marked for demolition due to its poor condition, and the collapse occurred amid ongoing station redevelopment projects and after heavy monsoon rains.
- The debris damaged overhead electricity cables, causing power shutdowns on Platforms 1, 2, and 3 and temporarily regulating inbound train traffic, which delayed trains such as the Netravati Express and Eranad Express.
- MLA Mohamed Riyas criticized the authorities for insufficient safety measures around the old structure and demanded a safety audit of similar aged railway buildings in Kerala.
