Heavy Rains Cause Widespread Disruptions to Western Railway Services in Gujarat
Heavy monsoon rains in Gujarat and south Gujarat caused significant disruptions to Western Railway services on July 23-24. Flooding near the Gholvad-Umargam Road section led to water levels reaching danger marks on bridges, prompting cancellations, short terminations, and diversions of numerous trains including Vande Bharat and Rajdhani Express. Passengers faced delays and protests at stations like Bamniya and Bandra Terminus amid limited prior notifications. Western Railway set up help desks and provided assistance as operations gradually resumed with caution.
