Cyclone Michaung: Staring From Dec 3 To 6, Southern Railway Cancels 120 Trains. List Inside

If you have watched any news channel or scrolled social media in the last few hours, you surely have seen the news of the scary Cyclone Michaung in Chennai and nearby places. The present situation is turning out to be quite horrible and chaotic for everyone. Given the natural disaster, Southern Railway decided to cancel many trains in the recent few days. If you have plans to travel with the Southern Railway, read this story to keep yourself updated.

South Railways Cancelled These Trains Due To Cyclone Michaung

Taking to the X (formerly Twitter) platform, Iyarkai (@iyarkai_earth) shared a video of the streets of Chennai flooded and waterlogged due to the heavy rainfall in all places.

Southern Railway has announced the names of those trains that have been cancelled from December 3 to December 6, 2023. Due to Cyclone Michaung hitting coastal Andhra Pradesh, the Railway cancelled more than 120 trains. Most of these trains pass by Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and the weather predictions for these places are quite scary at the moment. Incessant heavy rainfall can impact train journeys from Southern cities to Northern cities.

Taking to the X (formerly Twitter) platform, Venkatraman R (@rv_1409) shared a video of the streets of the Avadi railway station in water and how the tracks are even completely filled with rainwater.

Many of these trains were scheduled to depart from Bengaluru, Chennai, and Thiruvananthapuram and their destinations were cities in different parts of the city such as Howrah, New Delhi, Patna, and more. There are still chances of heavy rainfall in parts of Chennai, Andhra Pradesh, and other places. Passengers who booked tickets on the cancelled trains will receive a full refund for the cancellation. The India Meteorological Department stated that the cyclonic formation will only get stronger and move to the south Andhra coast on December 4.

The affected places are fully waterlogged from all around due to the heavy rainfall. But this is sadly not the end. There are probable chances of properties and establishments facing destruction due to the harsh weather conditions ongoing in some parts of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. In fact, Tamil Nadu announced a public holiday on December 4 due to the ongoing rainfall.
