Due to heavy rain and flood causing breaches and washing out of two spans (pillars) of a Railway Bridge affecting Down Line between Theruvali and Singapur Road Stations in Rayagada District in Rayagada-Titlagarh Railway Section on 15th July, 2017, train services were affected. As a result, trains in the route were diverted, cancelled and short-terminated.

The Down Line Bridge was made fit for train communication on the morning of 19thJuly, 2017 and some of the trains were allowed to run in the section with restricted speed. After review, train services have gradually improved in the section and long distance Express trains were resumed fully in the section except above two Express and two local passenger trains. The above cancelled trains will resume service after reviewing the feasibility of the track and bridge.
