Nilgiri Mountain Railway: Udhagamandalam - Mettupalayam Train Services Cancelled for 4 More Days

The Nilgiri Mountain Railway service between Udhagamandalam (Ooty) and Mettupalayam has been cancelled for another four days due to a landslide on the mountain railway route.

Train services had already remained suspended for the past nine days following the landslide. As restoration work has not yet been completed, the cancellation has been extended.

Landslide Delays Restoration Work

A landslide along the Ooty mountain railway track disrupted train operations. Railway authorities are carrying out repair and restoration work to make the route safe for train movement.

However, the work is still pending, resulting in the extension of the service suspension by another four days.

Passengers Advised to Check Train Updates

Passengers planning to travel between Ooty and Mettupalayam are advised to check the latest railway announcements before starting their journey.

The mountain train is a popular attraction among tourists visiting the Nilgiris. The service will resume once restoration work is completed and the route is declared safe for operations.
