The operation of trains on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route between Bharuch and Ankleshwar stations under the Vadodara division stopped after Narmada river waters surged above the danger mark at brigade no. 502 at around 11:50 pm on Sunday.
“The railway traffic over the Narmada River bridge has resumed and trains are being operated slowly with caution,” Thakur said.
He said WR has already set up helpline numbers and passengers are being updated about the status of trains through a public announcement system as well about Train Traffic Resumes.
Since Sunday late at night, all the passenger and goods trains on both ends of the river were held up due to the flood.
Thakur had said arrangements were being made to provide refreshments, tea, and water to the stranded passengers.
At least one-and-a-half dozen trains, including Mumbai-Ahmedabad Tejas Express and Shatabdi Express, have been cancelled due to the flood, a Western Railway release said.
Heavy rain lashed many parts of Gujarat on Sunday, flooding low-lying areas and cutting off several villages as Narmada and other rivers were in full spate, officials said.
