Himachal Trains Cancelled: जरूरी खबर! अगर आ रहे हैं हिमाचल तो ठहर जाइए, इस वजह से सभी टॉय ट्रेन हो गई हैं रद

Due to a loose plate on bridge number 800 on the Kalka-Shimla heritage railway track, train services have been suspended. All 7 trains scheduled to arrive in Shimla on Saturday have been canceled. Three trains arrived from Kalka on Saturday morning, but only one reached Kandaghat, while the other two were...

stopped at Taradevi. These trains were sent back to Kalka. On Sunday, three trains will arrive from Kalka but will only reach Taradevi. Only one train will travel from Taradevi to Kalka. Tourists will have to rely on buses or taxis to reach Shimla. The cancellation of trains is causing inconvenience to tourists and other travelers, especially since schools in the plains are on holiday and there is an influx of tourists from other states. Advanced bookings are also being canceled. A team from the Railway Bridge Department arrived in Shimla on Saturday afternoon to inspect the bridge. The report will be submitted to the ministry, after which further action will be taken. Last year, heavy rain caused significant damage in Shimla. On August 14, a landslide near Shiv Bawdi in Summer Hill led to the collapse of the rail track, resulting in the death of 20 people, including an entire family of seven. The railway constructed a 40-meter long iron bridge at the site, costing approximately 20 crores. The bridge was then reinforced with concrete. Normally, six trains run on the Kalka-Shimla track, but an additional train was added during the summer, making a total of seven trains operating daily. All train bookings until July 20 have been canceled, and travelers will have to find alternative transportation to reach Shimla.

Kalka-Shimla heritage railway track pe bridge number 800 pe plate loose hone ki wajah se trains ki aawa jahi band kar di gayi hai. Saturday ko Shimla aane wali saari 7 trains cancel kar di gayi hain. Saturday subah Kalka se teen trains aayi hain, lekin ek train Kandaghat tak, aur...

do trains Taradevi tak hi chali gayi. In trains ko vapas Kalka bhej diya gaya. Sunday ko Kalka se teen trains aayengi, lekin ye trains sirf Taradevi tak hi aayengi. Taradevi se Kalka ke liye sirf ek hi train jaayegi. Logon ko bus ya taxi se Shimla aana hoga. Tourists aur other travelers ko isse pareshani ka samna karna pad raha hai, especially since schools in plains pe chuttiyan hain aur bahar se tourists bahut aa rahe hain. Advanced bookings bhi cancel ki ja rahi hain. Railway Bridge Department ki team Saturday afternoon Shimla pahuchi aur bridge ka muayna kiya. Report ministry ko di jaayegi, uske baad further action liya jaayega. Last year, Shimla mein barish ne bahut destruction kiya tha. August 14 ko Summer Hill ke Shiv Bawdi ke paas ek bada haadsa hua tha. Yaha ek landslide hua tha, jisne rail track ko dhaya tha. Isme 20 logon ki maut hui thi, aur ek pura family bhi isme mar gaya tha. Railway ne yaha pe 40 meter lamba iron bridge banaya tha, jiska kharch almost 20 crores tha. Is bridge ko concrete se pakka kiya ja raha hai. Normally Kalka-Shimla track pe 6 trains chalti hain, lekin summer mein ek additional train bhi chali thi, isse total 7 trains chal rahi thi. All train bookings July 20 tak cancel kar di gayi hain, aur travelers ko Shimla aane ke liye dusre transport ka use karna padega.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
