Heavy rain has led to soil erosion along a stretch of the Assam-Mizoram railway track, causing disruptions to train services in the region. Trains between Jamira in Assam and Bairabi in Mizoram, as well as several services from and to Aizawl's Sairang station, have been cancelled or short-terminated since Thursday. Aizawl's Chief Public Relations Officer, Kapinjal Kishore Sharma, stated that the affected portion of track, extending up to 40 metres from the center, suffered damage following heavy rainfall on Thursday evening.
The restoration work is underway, but with no direct road access to the site, the process may take some time. Consequently, the Guwahati-Sairang Express, Silchar-Bairabi Express, Sairang-Kolkata Express, Bairabi-Silchar Express, Silchar-Sairang Express, and Sairang-Silchar Express have been cancelled. The railway authority is providing comfort and assistance to stranded passengers, including light refreshments and real-time information.
