- Protect items from water: You should keep your mobile, laptop, charger and important documents in a waterproof bag or zip pouch so that they do not get damaged due to rain.
- Check Train Live Status: Often, due to heavy rains, timings of trains are changed. In such a situation, it is important that you check the live status of the train before leaving your home.
