Jammu Rains Halts Train Services

The Northern Railways on Tuesday cancelled 22 trains halting at or departing from Jammu and Katra stations, and short-terminated 27 trains within the division. Heavy rain lashing the Jammu region has caused major rail disruptions.

“Twenty-seven trains have been short-terminated on Tuesday. This has been done in view of the prevailing weather conditions in the region,” said the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Northern Railway, Jammu Division.

Since Monday, the Jammu region has seen its heaviest rainfall in decades, leading to flooding, landslides damaging bridges and roads, and inundated residential and agricultural areas. Jammu city recorded more than 250 mm of rainfall in less than a day, forcing many to evacuate.

Of the 22 cancelled trains, nine were from Katra, the base camp of the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine, and one from Jammu, officials said. The rest were scheduled to arrive at Katra, Jammu, and Udhampur stations.
