The Kolkata-Chennai route has been temporarily closed due to a freight train accident near Odisha.
A freight train carrying coal from Tamara to Haldia, bordering the South Eastern Railway Zone, collided with a wire hanging on the bridge while passing through the Soro railway station in Odisha’s Balasore district.
The railway official said the line was temporarily closed for safety reasons due to repair work and train services would resume soon. This railway line is the main route from the southeast to Chennai.
