Northern Railways General Manager Shobhan Choudhary said elaborated on the diversion and short-termination of trains.
“It rained heavily on July 8-9, due to which many places in the plains were waterlogged and many railway tracks were submerged. So as a precautionary measure, we had to stop the train service,” he said.
Heavy rains have been lashing the northern parts of the country since the beginning of July. Over 145 people have lost their lives in rain-related incidents so far. The India Meteorological Department issued a red alert for Uttarakhand on Friday, while an orange alert has been issued for July 15-17.
