Heavy Rainfall Halts Train Services Between Visakhapatnam and Bhubaneswar

Train services between Visakhapatnam and Bhubaneswar were disrupted due to heavy rainfall and flooding, with several trains cancelled, diverted, or short-terminated. The flooding was caused by an overflowing rivulet crossing the danger mark at a railway bridge between Ichchapuram and Jhadupudi. The South Coast Railway cancelled around nine short-distance trains and diverted around 16 trains. A special train was arranged to facilitate the movement of stranded passengers. The East Coast Railway also took measures to regulate, divert, and cancel trains due to rising water levels at reservoirs and railway bridges. The disruption affected both passenger and express services.
