What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Due to damage to the railway bridge near Taksal, only limited train services are currently operating between Dharampur and Shimla. Given the expected rise in passenger numbers during the Navratri festival, the Railway Board is reviewing proposals to introduce additional trains. The plan is to initially start one extra train, with a second one potentially following if demand increases.
