Heavy rainfall and landslides triggered by Cyclone Remal have damaged railway tracks, cutting off several northeastern states from the rest of the country. Tripura, Manipur, Mizoram, and southern Assam are affected, with at least ten locations experiencing waterlogged or damaged tracks. Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) officials say restoration work is ongoing, but heavy rain is hindering progress. Many trains have been cancelled since Tuesday, and passenger and goods services have been impacted since April 25. Engineers and workers are working around the clock to restore rail services.
