Intense rainfall has disrupted the Assam-Mizoram rail corridor, leading to suspension of all train services on the line.
Heavy monsoon rains have caused significant flooding along the Assam-Mizoram rail corridor, forcing Indian Railways to suspend all train operations on the line.
The disruption began after several hours of continuous downpours in the region, which led to waterlogging of tracks and damage to signaling equipment. Railway officials have reported that the affected stretch lies between the cities of Silchar in Assam and Aizawl in Mizoram.
Passengers travelling on the route have been advised to seek alternative modes of transport, and the railways have deployed rescue teams to clear debris and restore service as soon as conditions permit.
Rail authorities have stated that they will resume operations once the tracks are inspected and deemed safe, but no specific date has been announced yet.
