Rail and road communication in the Northeast has been severely affected due to flood and landslides, with South Assam and neighbouring Mizoram, Tripura and parts of Manipur remaining cut off from the rest of the country for nearly a week now.
Rail connectivity between Guwahati and South Assam districts and Tripura, Mizoram and Manipur has remained snapped since May 16 when flash floods and landslides following heavy rains damaged railway tracks at several locations under Lumding-Badarpur section in Assam, while landslides on June 15 at several places on NH-6 in Meghalaya that connects Guwahati with South Assam, Tripura, Mizoram and parts of Manipur brought road movements to a standstill.
