Jammu: Railway authorities on Thursday arranged a special train from Jammu to Delhi to facilitate the movement of stranded passengers following flash floods and cloudbursts that disrupted connectivity across parts of the Jammu division.
Officials said the train will depart from Jammu Railway Station at 2:00 PM today. The move comes after heavy rainfall and cloudbursts triggered flash floods, damaging road infrastructure and hampering vehicular movement.
“Several key highways remain affected due to landslides, waterlogging, and road damage,” officials noted, adding that restoration work is underway as weather conditions begin to improve.
Priority boarding on the special train has been reserved for stranded tourists and families, they added.
