Puttur, Jul 17: Train service between the town and Mangalore was hampered owing to landslide on railway tracks near Kabaka here on Sunday July 16. Since the mud could not be removed from the tracks immediately, the train service to Mangalore was cancelled on Sunday.
As soon as the news of landslide was given to Mangalore railway division, the officials decided to cancel the train to the town. However, work to clear the track was taken up almost immediately and the track was cleared by Sunday late evening.
However, the officials said that train would resume service from Monday July 17. Since there are only a few passengers travelling on this route, the cancellation of the train on Sunday did not create much problem to anyone, said railway sources.
