Heavy rainfall in Assam has caused fresh railway disruptions today. The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) issued new notices for July 22. Tracks are currently under water in several key zones. This impacts both local and long-distance travel plans. Passengers must check their schedules before leaving for the station today.
Most cancellations involve the Nagaland Express (15670) and North East Express services. The Chandigarh to Dibrugarh Express (15904) is also short-terminated today. These changes affect thousands of daily commuters in Upper Assam. Most flood-hit tracks are near the Lumding and Tinsukia divisions. Travel times are likely to increase significantly.
Assam Floods: Today's Cancelled and Diverted Trains
Rail operations around New Haflong are the most impacted right now. To ensure safety, NFR has diverted several high-priority trains. These diversions might cause delays of several hours today. Travelers should use the National Train Enquiry System (NTES) for updates. This portal provides real-time data on every running train.
| Train Number | Train Name | Current Status |
|---|---|---|
| 15670 | Nagaland Express | Cancelled Today |
| 15904 | Chandigarh Express | Short-Terminated |
| 20503 | Dibrugarh Rajdhani | Diverted Route |
The Dibrugarh Rajdhani Express status is a major concern today. This flagship train is diverted through safer corridors for now. Officials hope to restore normal service by this evening. However, this depends entirely on the receding water levels. Safety teams must inspect every inch of the tracks first.
NFR Refund Policy and Help for Commuters
Online ticket holders will receive automatic refunds for cancelled trains. Those with counter tickets must file a Ticket Deposit Receipt (TDR). You can do this at any major railway station. For help, call the 139 helpline for live status info. This service is available twenty-four hours a day for all.
NFR continues to monitor the flood situation across the state. While some routes may reopen tonight, stay alert for changes. Weather experts predict more rain over the next two days. Consider using state buses or local flights for urgent travel. Always verify your train status on official railway apps first.
