Train service on the Kalka-Shimla track has been suspended since July 9 due to heavy rainfall and landslides, resulting in the cancellation of all trains operating on this route. The suspension is expected to continue until August 6 to allow for extensive restoration work. Reportedly, obstacles like fallen trees, shooting stones, and surging water have hampered repair efforts at over 100 sites between Kalka and Solan. Mandeep Singh Bhatia, the Divisional Railway Manager of Ambala Division, stated that the damage had caused an estimated loss of Rs 6 crore, which may increase as restoration work progresses.
