Maligaon, July 25 (FD) Due to incessant heavy rainfall in the upstream catchment areas, the Dikhow River has been overflowing, leading to severe flooding in and around Simaluguri (SLGR) town in Sivasagar district under Tinsukia Division of Northeast Frontier Railway. The floodwaters have inundated different railway sections, tracks and adjoining areas. Water has also overtopped the railway track in the Simaluguri section.
Despite the challenging conditions, the Tinsukia Division has launched extensive restoration with 24X7 monitoring to ensure the earliest possible restoration of normal train services. Engineering teams led by senior railway officials of division have been working continuously on a war footing to address the impact of the floodwaters and early restoration of train services.
In view of passenger safety and operational requirements, train movement between Simaluguri–Namtiali and Simaluguri–Selenghat sections have been suspended until further notice. Consequently, several long-distance trains originating from or bound for Dibrugarh and Tinsukia have been diverted via the Rangiya – Rangapara – Dibrugarh route. In addition, a number of local passenger services have been cancelled, while some trains have been short terminated or short originated. The affected train services are as follows:
