A portion of roof collapsed at Cuttack station in Odisha during redevelopment work on Thursday. PTI reported that a  portion of a wall, and a shed of a platform at the railway station collapsed during the redevelopment work, impacting the train services.

According to PTI, no casualty has been reported so far in the incident, but the collapsing of the roof caused panic among the passengers at the station.

An officer of East Coast Railway (ECoR) told PTI that due to the wall collapse at platform number one, the roof of a shed also caved in and fell on the tracks.
