Heavy rain has forced Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) to cancel many trains today. Flood water has submerged tracks between Archipathar and Simen Chapari stations. This affects the critical Rangiya to Murkongselek section. Passengers now face significant delays across the entire region. Restoration efforts are currently underway.
The flooding has triggered prompt service changes for long-distance trains. Rail traffic remains stalled to ensure safety during rising water levels. NFR officials are monitoring the situation closely around the clock. Safety remains the top priority for all stranded commuters today.

Quick refund steps and NTES status checks
Commuters can use the National Train Enquiry System (NTES) for updates. Dialing the 139 helpline provides instant information on diverted routes. Always keep your PNR number ready for faster help desk assistance. Online portals allow for quick status tracking during flood-related delays.
Getting a refund is simple for trains cancelled by the railways. Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) users get automatic credit. For counter tickets, you must file a Ticket Deposit Receipt (TDR). Complete this process within set timelines for a full reimbursement.
Impact on Rangiya and Murkongselek train services
Track damage causes a chain reaction affecting regional trains elsewhere. Trains heading toward North Lakhimpur may experience slow movement. Railway engineers are inspecting bridge foundations and track stability today. Travel remains risky until the weather conditions finally improve across the state.
Staying informed is vital during this ongoing weather crisis in Assam. Avoid travelling unless it is absolutely necessary for your safety. Follow official NFR social media handles for the latest restoration news. Be prepared for further updates as monsoon rains continue to hit the region.
