Land slide spots cleared at Dudh Sagar-Sonalium track

Hubballi/Belagavi, Jul 24 (UNI) The South Western Railway (SWR) authorities on Saturday restored the Dudh Sagar-Sonalium and Caranzol-Dudhsagar tracks, which were affected by landslides due to heavy rains in the early hours of Saturday.
At Tunnel No 7, debris, muck, rubble and mud cleared in the early hours today, the SWR said in a statement.
Now the track has been cleared and restored for traffic at the second spot viz, Dudhsagar-Sonaulim, it said.
A speed restriction on 10 Kms per hour has been imposed, temporarily, in view of safety and further monitoring of the spots and nearby locations will be carried out for the next 24-48 hrs, very closely.
To prevent further land slips, and erosion on hills due to rain, shoring arrangements are being done using rails and sleepers at these spots and nearby other spots, the release added.
