Train Services Resume After Assam Landslide Disrupts Connectivity
A train line in Assam that was closed due to a landslide is now open again.
The first passenger train to go through the area was the Sealdah–Silchar Kanchanjungha Express.
Before letting passengers use the line, the railway tested it with other trains.
The area was cut off after the landslide but now trains can go through.
This is good news for the people in the area and nearby states, who had trouble getting supplies.
Passenger train services resumed on the Jatinga–Lampur rail link after a landslide.
The Sealdah–Silchar Kanchanjungha Express was the first passenger train to traverse the affected area.
Trial operations were conducted before passenger services resumed.
Restoration work has been ongoing since the landslide disrupted the rail link.
The disruption caused economic and logistical challenges for the region.
