Train services on the Badarpur-Lumding route faced more trouble on 24 June. After a landslide damaged the railway track, the Northeast Frontier Railway cancelled more trains and left many passengers stuck mid-journey.
Railway officials first cancelled six trains and partly cancelled six more on 23 June. They hoped services would return to normal soon. But conditions worsened, forcing further cancellations.
On 24 June, eight more trains were fully cancelled:
15611 RNY–SCL Express
15612 SCL–RNY ExpresJatinga
15615 GHY–SCL Express
15616 SCL–GHY Express (scheduled for 25 June)
15888 GHY–BPB Tourist Express (25 June)
15887 BPB–GHY Tourist Express (25 June)
14038 NDLS–SCL Express (26 June)
12503 SMVB–AGTL Humsafar Express (27 June)
Additionally, five trains were cancelled midway:
15625 DGHR–AGTL Express stopped at Lumding on 23 June
13173 Sealdah–Sabroom Kanchanjungha Express stopped at Lumding on 24 June
12516 Silchar–Coimbatore Superfast Express stopped at Guwahati on 24 June
13176 SCL–SDAH Kanchanjungha Express stopped at Lumding on 25 June
12502 AGTL–Kolkata Garib Rath Express stopped at Guwahati on 25 June
Passengers are facing tough times. Many are without food, water, or shelter. Devotees heading to Kamakhya for the Ambubachi festival are especially affected. Families with children are in deep trouble due to long delays and no clear help.
Rail workers are still clearing the tracks. Until it’s done, travel on the Badarpur-Lumding route will likely stay uncertain. The railway has asked people to check updates before planning any trip.
