Transportation Chaos Grips Southern Assam Amid Weather Woes

Severe disruptions caused by inclement weather and train derailments in the Lumding division have left people in southern Assam struggling to travel to the state capital. NF Railways announced the cancellation and rescheduling of several trains, including the Guwahati-Silchar Express. Travellers also face challenges on road routes through Meghalaya due to massive holes and congestion. With air travel as the only alternative, soaring airfares have made it unaffordable for many, prompting calls for subsidized air services.
