Jammu Rail Network Reels Under Monsoon Fury: Key Routes Crippled
Heavy monsoon rains continue to wreak havoc on the Jammu railway network, causing widespread disruptions to train services. Wednesday saw several key trains, including the Jammu Mail and Hemkunt Express, completely cancelled.
Numerous other services faced short terminations, leaving passengers stranded and inconvenienced. This follows Tuesday’s significant disruptions, attributed to soil erosion and flash flooding in vulnerable sections of the tracks.
Railway officials are working tirelessly to restore full services and are actively engaging with passengers through various channels to provide updates. Efforts are underway to clear debris and repair damaged tracks.
The continued disruptions highlight the vulnerability of the region’s rail infrastructure to extreme weather events, raising concerns about the need for robust mitigation strategies and infrastructure upgrades to ensure smoother and safer rail travel in the future. The impact on commuters and the economy of the region warrants immediate attention.
