The Northern Railways on Tuesday cancelled the next day’s 22 trains halting at or departing from Jammu and Katra railway stations, and short-terminated 27 trains in the division.

Heavy rains triggered a devastating landslide near the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the tragic loss of at least 30 lives. The disaster prompted the suspension of the Vaishno Devi yatra and the cancellation of numerous train services. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah briefed the Union Home Minister on the situation and is closely monitoring relief efforts.

The pilgrimage to the Vaishno Devi shrine has also been suspended in view of the incessant rainfall in Jammu and Kashmir.
