The North Frontier Railway (NFR) has suspended services on its Mizoram and Barak Valley routes after sections of track were found damaged, prompting an immediate travel alert.
The North Frontier Railway announced the cancellation of all passenger trains operating on the Mizoram and Barak Valley corridors after engineers detected significant damage to the railway tracks. The issue was identified during routine inspections, and safety officials deemed the sections unsafe for train movement.
The suspension affects both long‑distance and local services, leaving commuters in the northeastern region without rail connectivity on these routes until repairs are completed. NFR officials have urged passengers to seek alternative transport and will provide updates as the repair work progresses.
Railway authorities are mobilising maintenance crews to assess the extent of the damage and to initiate urgent repairs. No timeline has been given for the resumption of services, but the railway board has assured that safety remains the top priority.
Travelers are advised to monitor official NFR notifications and local news outlets for further information on alternative arrangements and the expected date of service restoration.
