Heavy Rain Disrupts Train Services on Lumding-Badarpur Hill Section in Northeast India
Rail connectivity between southern Assam, Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur, and the rest of India has been disrupted for over two weeks due to heavy rainfall damaging tracks on the Lumding-Badarpur Hill Section near New Harangajao station in Dima Hasao district. Soil subsidence affected two of three railway lines over a 300-meter stretch, halting normal train operations. Restoration efforts continue under challenging weather with many workers and machinery deployed, but no timeline for resumption has been provided. Train movements currently use the third line with strict safety monitoring.
