A release from the Salem Division of the Southern Railway said due to heavy rains extensive damage was caused to NMR by way of landslips and breaches. The restoration work has been taken up in full swing on the 38 km stretch from Kallar to Ooty. More than 250 railway staff and contractual labourers with machineries were engaged in the restoration work.
