Mudslide delays Vande Bharat, passenger train in Ariyalur
A mudslide at a subway construction site in Ariyalur district caused unexpected delays for the Chennai Egmore-Nagercoil Vande Bharat Express and another passenger train on Thursday morning.
Railway teams quickly responded to keep everyone safe, sending senior staff to handle the situation and prevent any accidents.
TL;DR
Trains resumed movement after 30 minutes
After about 30 minutes, both trains were back on the move—though at a cautious 10km/h through the affected stretch.
This careful approach kept things running smoothly with minimal disruption for travelers.
The Vande Bharat Express, which usually zips between Chennai and Nagercoil six days a week, made sure safety came first this time around.
