The Ambala Railway Division has cancelled many trains in view of the rising water level in rivers and streams in the plains after heavy rains in the mountains.
Senior Commercial Manager of Ambala Railway Division, Naveen Kumar, said that all trains going to Jammu have been cancelled due to sudden floods in Jammu and Pathankot. He said that in such a situation, help desks have been set up to avoid inconvenience to the people, and their ticket money is being refunded.
The other trains which have been cancelled included Katra- Subedarganj Express, Udhampur-Pathankot Express, Katra-New Delhi Express, Jammu Tawi-Varanasi Express, Katra-Rishikesh Express and Kalka-Katra Express.
Ambala Division Senior Commercial Manager Naveen Kumar Jha said the down line has been completely affected due to the erosion of Punjab’s Chakki river.
The tracks from Pathankot to Kandori (Himachal Pradesh) have been damaged, Jha said, adding that the Jammu route will be affected the most due to the cancellation of these trains.
He said these trains will remain cancelled till further orders and reserved passengers will be informed through SMS.
Jha said the Railways will give full refund of tickets to all the passengers.
Swollen rivers and incessant rains have submerged many villages and low-lying areas in several districts of Punjab.
