Railway issues advisory to passengers
Western Railway has advised passengers to verify the status of their trains before leaving for railway stations, as schedules continue to change due to adverse weather conditions.
Passengers have been asked to check updates through the RailMadad, NTES, and IRCTC mobile applications or by calling the 139 Railway Helpline.
Ahmedabad-Viramgam section also affected
Rainwater accumulation also disrupted operations on the Ahmedabad-Viramgam railway section, particularly between Charodi and Viramgam stations.
According to railway officials, three trains, including the Okha Vande Bharat Express and a MEMU service, were fully cancelled, while several other trains were short-terminated or diverted due to the flooding.
With heavy rainfall continuing across parts of Gujarat and Maharashtra, railway authorities are closely monitoring track conditions and have urged passengers to follow official updates before commencing their journeys.
