West Bengal train services hit for 2nd day after track sinks, repair work on war footing
- Why it matters
- The track sinkage has halted train operations in West Bengal for two days, forcing the rail authority into emergency repairs; resumption depends on how quickly subsidence is stabilized.
- Most affected
- Passengers on West Bengal rail routes — Train services suspended; travel delayed or rerouted for second day.
Rail freight operators in the region — Cargo movement halted; no timeline given for resumption. - Likely next
- Whether services resume before a third consecutive day of disruption, or if repair work reveals deeper structural damage.
