Guwahati, June 29: Train services between South Assam, Tripura, Manipur, and Mizoram and the rest of the country via Guwahati will be partially restored from June 29.

Train operations in the Lumding–Badarpur Hill Section of the Lumding Division had been disrupted since June 23, after massive landslides severely damaged the railway track in the mountainous terrain.

Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) Kapinjal Kishore Sharma said on Saturday that train movement over the affected portion in the Lumding–New Haflong stretch of the Lumding–Badarpur Hill Section will be partially restored from Sunday.

“Restoration efforts at the affected location are progressing rapidly to normalise train movement,” he said.

Following the partial restoration, the Sealdah–Silchar Kanchenjunga Express, which commenced its journey on Saturday (June 28), will be the first passenger train to operate on its original route through the restored section.
