In June 2026, residents protested the unfinished construction work at the station's area, asking for the installation of appropriate hydraulic infrastructure, the construction of better access staircases, and the repair of a wall.

Residents stated that, before the station's construction, water reaching the area continued to flow without accumulating.
Near midnight, on 6 September 2026, following a rainy day, six people (two women and four men) died outside the station from gas inhalation while traveling in a shared public transit van. The vehicle was traveling along , next to railway station, when it became stuck in the flooded street, covered by of water. According to early investigations, either the vehicle's liquefied petroleum gas line was accidentally damaged, causing gas to leak into the van, or its exhaust pipe became clogged with water and mud, causing carbon dioxide to enter the vehicle. The van's windows and doors were closed. Three people died inside the van, while three others managed to escape but collapsed in the street.
