Suburban train services were severely hit by Tuesday’s rain.

Eastern Railway said a Howrah-bound local and seven trains from Howrah had to be cancelled because of waterlogging. Circular Railway services had to be suspended between Bagbazar and BBD Bag. Truncated services were started between Dum Dum and Bagbazar and between BBD Bag and Majherhat.

Services were also affected in South Eastern Railway’s Howrah-Kharagpur section and some major trains had to be cancelled.
