 Guwahati, 04^th September, 2026: 

The railway track between Jamira in Assam and Bairabi in Mizoram on the Katakhal–Bairabi section was affected by soil erosion near the track following heavy rainfall on the evening of 3rd September 2026.

Approximately 70 metres of railway track, extending up to 40 metres from the track centre, has been affected due to soil erosion.
