Kannur, June 22: Heavy rains lashing the northern districts of Kerala for the last three days severely disrupted rail traffic on the Cannanore and Mangalore section of Southern Railway for the second consecutive day today.
The rail tracks were inundated at Udma between Kottikulam and Kasaragod stations, railway sources said.
While both up and down Mangalore-Trichy Link Express have been cancelled between Kasaragod and Shornoor, the Coimbatore-Mangalore fast passenger trains will not run between Mangalore and Calicut. The Mangalore-Cannanore passenger train was cancelled for the second consecutive day due to damage caused to tracks, the sources said.
The Mangalore-bound Malabar Express from Thiruvananthapuram and the Chennai-Mangalore mail have been terminated at Nileshwar and both the trains will start their return journeys once the passengers of the Mangalore side reach Nileshwar by special buses provided for their onward journey by these trains. Meanwhile, the Ernakulam-Nizamuddin Mangala Lakshadweep Express and the Thiruvananthapuram-Lokmanya Tilak (Kurla) Netravati Express have been diverted via Shornur and Darmavaram due to disruption of rail traffic on the Konkan Railway route following heavy rains, the sources here said.
The heavy rain also affected restoration of rail tracks between Kottikulam and Kasaragod stations.
