Frequent downpours in the Nilgiris continue to trigger landslides. Consequently, the railway track of Nilgiri Mountain Railway, especially between Kallar – Coonoor railway stations, often gets covered by mud and obstructed by fallen boulders. Trees also fall across the rail line. These recurring incidents hamper the ongoing engineering works to restore the damaged railway track in Mettupalayam – Coonoor section of the Nilgiri Mountain Railway. Hence, the Mettupalayam – Udagamandalam – Mettupalayam train services will remain cancelled as detailed below.
