Heavy erosion has damaged Mizoram’s only railway link, leading to the cancellation of all train services on the route.
Heavy rain‑induced erosion has breached the only railway line that connects Mizoram with the rest of the country, forcing railway authorities to suspend all train operations on the route.
The disruption leaves commuters and freight operators without rail transport, prompting officials to advise passengers to use road alternatives until repairs are completed.
Railway officials have dispatched inspection teams to assess the extent of the damage and are preparing a restoration plan. No specific timeline for resumption has been announced, but authorities assure that work will commence at the earliest possible date.
The line, which is vital for Mizoram’s connectivity and economic activity, remains out of service pending the repair work.
