South Central Railway (SCR) has been forced to cancel or partially cancel as many as 56 trains, including several suburban MMTS trains connecting the twin cities, due to the incessant rains lashing across the State for the last few days and more rains forecast on Monday.
About 20 passenger trains have been cancelled and of them 16 are in the Hyderabad Division alone and two each in the Hyderabad and Nanded divisions. Two other trains have been partially cancelled in the Vijaywada Division.
Close to 34 MMTS services remain suspended from Monday till Wednesday (July 13) and these are those moving between Hyderabad-Lingampally and Lingampally-Hyderabad, Falaknuma-Lingampally and Lingampally-Falaknuma and one service each between Secunderabad-Lingampally and Lingampally, said an official spokesman.
