Heavy rains in northern India have left a 50‑meter stretch of railway track suspended over a ravine in Himachal Pradesh, prompting authorities to halt train services in the area.
A 50‑meter section of railway track in Himachal Pradesh has been suspended over a ravine after intense rainfall, causing a temporary halt to train operations in the affected zone. The track, part of the narrow‑gauge line that runs through the hilly terrain, was damaged when the surrounding slopes gave way, creating a deep gully. Railway officials have cordoned off the area and are assessing the extent of the damage before resuming services. The incident has highlighted the vulnerability of mountainous rail infrastructure to extreme weather events. Local authorities have urged commuters to seek alternative routes while repairs are underway.
