Rising Ganga levels have brought flood water close to a railway bridge on the Jamalpur‑Bhagalpur section, prompting a 30 km/h speed restriction and a high‑alert status.
The Malda railway division reported that flood water from the swelling Ganga River has reached the vicinity of a bridge‑puliya on the Jamalpur‑Bhagalpur line in Bihar. In response, safety measures have been heightened and train speeds on the affected stretch have been capped at 30 kilometres per hour. The restriction applies to all passenger and freight services traversing the section until water levels recede. Railway officials have placed the route under a high‑alert status and are monitoring the situation continuously. Travelers are advised to check for possible delays and follow updates from Indian Railways.
