Northeast Frontier Railway Installs Weather Stations to Enhance Monsoon Safety

The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has begun installing nine Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) at vulnerable locations across Assam, Mizoram, and Manipur to enhance safety and disaster preparedness during the monsoon. Three stations are operational, with six more expected by May 2026. Coordinated with the India Meteorological Department, these AWS will provide real-time, precise weather data to help manage risks from floods, landslides, and adverse conditions, improving response in flood-prone and landslide-sensitive areas.
