The Northern Railway has cancelled 18 trains to and from Katra, Udhampur and Jammu railway stations as relentless heavy rain wreaked havoc in the Jammu region. According to the railway officials, eighteen trains have been cancelled. Four trains have been subjected to short terminations. This has been done in view of the weather conditions prevailing in the region.

The officials said of the trains cancelled, seven are from Katra, the base camp of the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine, two from Udhampur and one from Jammu. They added that trains to Katra and Udhampur have also been cancelled. However, the movement of trains on the Katra-Srinagar stretch was continuing. The Jammu region has been experiencing its heaviest rainfall in decades since Monday night, which damaged bridges, disrupted road connectivity and inundated large tracts of land, forcing people to shift to safer areas.
