Train services to Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur, and southern Assam remained suspended for a second consecutive day on Tuesday. This disruption was caused by mud and stones, which had rolled down during "improper" road repair work undertaken by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), which continued to block tracks in the Lumding-Badarpur hill section of the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), reported PTI.

Several trains have been completely or partially cancelled, even as railway teams are working on a war footing under the supervision of senior officials to restore services, an NFR release stated. "In light of the recent landslide incident that led to the disruption of train services in the Lumding, Badarpur hill section, continuous efforts are underway by the railways and state authorities for early restoration," the NFR statement read.

Top officials from NFR, the state government, NHAI, and other agencies held a meeting to review the situation and formulate immediate solutions, reported PTI.
