A Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) spokesperson reported that the railway tracks were submerged or damaged in at least ten locations within this critical connecting route to south Assam, Tripura, Manipur, and Mizoram.

Mizoram stands as the epicentre of the disaster, bearing the brunt of Remal's destructive power.

According to the IMD, a depression originating in the Bay of Bengal is anticipated to escalate into a cyclonic storm by Saturday evening.
