Heavy rains on Tuesday wreaked havoc in Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal. Normal life has been disrupted, and rail traffic has also come to a standstill.
The situation is so severe that many railway stations are waterlogged, that the Railways has canceled several trains and rescheduled them. While the UP Hazarduari Express has been canceled from Kolkata, trains like the UP Kolkata-Amritsar have been rescheduled. The Railways is also continuously sending alerts on social media for passengers traveling on this route.
Due to torrential
rains, the Howrah Station yard, Sealdah South Station yard, Chitpur North Cabin, and the railway lines in the Howrah and Sealdah divisions have been flooded. However, the railway is continuously making efforts to remove the accumulated water. Among the trains that have been cancelled due to this problem are…
