Silchar (Assam), July 3 (HS): A landslide has once again occurred on the Silchar-Lumding hill railway line, due to which rail traffic on this route has come to a complete halt.

In a landslide near Mupa station on Thursday afternoon, soil and stones fell from the mountain and came on the rail track. Due to this, the 15616 Silchar-Guwahati Express got stuck on the way, which has been brought back towards Mupa station for the time being.
