  "account": "On Friday, the Indian Railways cancelled eight trains due to a tragic collapse of the ground between Tildanga and New Farakka railway stations in Maldah Division, West Bengal. The heavy rainfall on Wednesday led to land subsidence, causing disruption in train connectivity between north and south Bengal. Eastern Railway officials informed that train 13429, running between Malda Town and Anand Vihar Terminal, was diverted towards Munger railway station and Katihar Junction. Additionally, the Howrah-Balurghat Express and Howrah-Radhikapur Kulik Express were cancelled. In total, 23 train services were cancelled, 30 trains were diverted, 3 were short terminated, and one was rescheduled. The Indian Meteorological Department reported heavy downpour of 7 to 11 cm over Gangetic West Bengal, with a likelihood of light to moderate rain/thundershower and thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds.",
