Northeast Frontier Railway Restores Flood-Damaged Tracks in Assam's Sivasagar
The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has restored flood-damaged railway tracks in Assam's Sivasagar district, enabling the gradual resumption of train services with safety restrictions. Diesel locomotive-hauled trains will operate initially to reduce electrocution risks for flood-affected residents sheltering near tracks. Several local trains now run via Moranhat, while long-distance trains continue on diverted routes. NFR officials, including General Manager Chetan Kumar Shrivastava, inspected the repairs, and decisions on full restoration and electric train operations will follow once conditions improve.
