In the hill section under Lumding Division both passenger and freight train services were cancelled due to the heavy rains and unprecedented landslides on May 14 .
"Railway officials, engineers, workers worked day and night to bring back the national transporter on track in these affected areas so that scarcity of essential items in states like Manipur, Tripura, Mizoram and Barak Valley (southern Assam) areas could be avoided," the CPRO said.
Due to unprecedented landslides triggered by heavy rain since May 13, massive damage has been caused to stations and railway tracks at over 61 locations in NFR's Lumding-Badarpur single line railway route.
