Guwahati, July 21 -- Due to severe flooding in and around Simaluguri town in Sivasagar district under the Tinsukia Division of Northeast Frontier Railway, train services between the Simaluguri-Namtiali and Simaluguri-Selenghat sections have been suspended in the interest of passenger safety and operational requirements.

As a result, several long-distance trains to and from Dibrugarh and Tinsukia have been diverted via the Rangiya-Rangapara-Dibrugarh route.

While certain services have been short-terminated or short-originated, a few trains have also been cancelled.

To assist passengers affected by these disruptions, Northeast Frontier Railway has decided to operate additional special trains.
