What happened
Heavy rain triggered landslides on the Koraput-Rayagada route, disrupting rail traffic in eastern India. The incident led to the cancellation of four trains and the change of six services on routes through Odisha. Trains, including the Visakhapatnam-Koraput Intercity Express, were detained or stranded due to the blocked tracks.
Why it matters
The landslides forced East Coast Railway to restrict operations on the affected section. The Koraput-Rayagada railway corridor is highly vulnerable to soil erosion during the monsoon, leading to widespread service interruptions and logistical challenges for travelers.
