Cyclone Arnab Floods Disrupt Rail Services, Nine Trains Cancelled in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh
Cyclone Arnab caused severe flooding in Odisha's Ganjam and Andhra Pradesh's Ichchapuram areas, leading to the cancellation of nine trains and diversion of 14 others on the Howrah-Chennai route. The swollen Bahuda river crossed danger levels at two railway bridges, disrupting rail services and stranding passengers. Authorities arranged special trains, food, water, and evacuation efforts, including airlifting over 120 people from marooned villages. Train operations will resume once water levels recede and safety is ensured.
