Sullia, Aug 20: Train services between Mangaluru and Bengaluru, which were cancelled due to a hill collapse between the Sakleshpur and Ballupete stretch, have resumed as of Monday.
The work of clearing the mud from the tracks was completed on Monday, with officials confirming that the tracks have been realigned. All train services that were cancelled on August 17, as noted in Bulletin No. 3, have now resumed. Trains will run as scheduled in the future, with a speed limit in place at the site of the landslide.
Train services were initially cancelled on August 16 when mud from the hill collapsed onto the tracks. Although efforts to clear the tracks began immediately, ongoing mudslides hampered the operation. The mud has now been successfully removed from the tracks.
