Cyclone Arnab Floods Disrupt Train Services, Nine Trains Cancelled and Fourteen Diverted
Cyclone Arnab caused severe flooding in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, leading to the suspension of train services on the Visakhapatnam-Bhubaneswar and Howrah-Chennai routes. Nine trains, including the Vande Bharat Express and Visakha Express, were cancelled, and 14 others diverted due to rising water levels at railway bridges over the Bahuda river. Authorities arranged special trains and passenger amenities while monitoring the situation closely. In Odisha, over 2,000 people were stranded in marooned villages, with airlift operations planned to aid evacuations.
