NFR Rushes to Restore Rail Connectivity After Assam Landslide
A landslide in Assam damaged the railway tracks, stopping trains in that area.
Railway workers are working hard to fix the tracks, using lots of machines and people.
A meeting was held to plan the repairs.
The work is slow because the ground is still moving and it keeps raining.
Some trains are not running or are only going part of the way until the tracks are fixed.
