Floodwaters sever rail link between Lahore, Faisalabad

The recent breaches in Nullah Deg and Bherr have caused significant damage to the rail link between Lahore and Faisalabad, eroding the foundations of railway bridges and forcing train diversions to alternate routes. With the Tarbela dam nearing its maximum capacity, the ongoing flood situation poses a continued risk to major rivers. Engineering teams are on hold, waiting for the floodwaters to recede before they can begin the necessary repairs. This disruption not only impacts daily commutes but also affects the broader economy by hindering the efficient movement of goods and people.
