Train services between Thiruvananthapuram and Kanyakumari were disrupted on Saturday following torrential rains that lashed the Kerala state capital and nearby Tamil Nadu districts inundating the railway tracks.
Unabated rains which started on Friday night also led to landslips in a few places. Flooding of water on the railway track between Nagercoil and Kanyakumari has forced the Southern Railway to cancel a few trains that runs between these places.

According to reports, landslides at two places damaged the railway tracks in the Thiruvananthapuram which borders the Tamil Nadu districts.
