Restoration Underway for Flood-Damaged Railway Tracks in Assam's Tinsukia Division
Floods in Assam's Sivasagar and Charaideo districts on July 19 washed away about 800 meters of railway tracks, severely disrupting services under the Tinsukia Railway Division of Northeast Frontier Railway. Restoration work is underway between Simulguri Junction and Lakwa station, with railway engineers and machinery deployed under senior supervision. Officials estimate train services may resume in approximately three weeks. The floods also caused widespread damage to local villages, affecting homes and infrastructure.
