Mangalore, Oct 5: The train services between the city and Bangalore, which were disrupted due to the landslide between Yedakumeri and Siribagilu stations on Sunday, resumed on Monday October 4.
The train to Bangalore from here did not begin its journey because of the said problem. The railways, in a swift operation, cleared the tracks within a day and paved way for the movement of goods and passenger trains on this line, the railway officials stated.
The above stretch had suffered several landslides in the past because of heavy rains, and as the earth on this hilly terrain is wet. As the landslide on Sunday was of less intensity, repairs could be completed by removing boulders and mud that had got deposited on the tracks without much loss of time, it is learnt.
