Train operations in West Bengal remain halted for a second consecutive day after a railway track collapsed, prompting authorities to launch emergency repair work.

The Indian Railways has suspended passenger train services across affected sections of West Bengal for a second day following the sudden sinking of a railway track. The incident forced the cancellation of scheduled trains, leaving commuters to seek alternative transport.

Railway officials have described the situation as critical and have mobilised repair crews to work on a "war footing" to restore the line. Engineers are deploying heavy machinery and manual labor to stabilize the ground and replace the damaged track segment.

The Ministry of Railways has assured the public that safety remains the top priority and that normal services will resume once the track is deemed secure. Travelers are advised to monitor official updates for any changes to train schedules.

Local authorities are also coordinating with railway teams to manage traffic congestion at stations and provide assistance to stranded passengers. The rapid response aims to minimise disruption and prevent further inconvenience to daily commuters.
