Heavy rainfall in the Madhya Pradesh‑Uttar Pradesh border area near Chitrakoot caused a railway track to be submerged, forcing trains to reduce speed.
Heavy rainstorms swept the MP‑UP border region around Chitrakoot, raising water levels on the railway line to the point of submergence. The inundated track forced railway controllers to order a speed reduction for all trains passing the section. Officials from the North Central Railway said the situation is being monitored and that no derailments or passenger injuries have been reported so far. Engineers have been dispatched to assess the damage and to clear water from the line as soon as conditions allow. Travelers were advised to remain patient as services continue at a reduced pace until the track is fully restored.
