According to reports, following heavy and incessant rain in Koraput district since last 24 hours, a huge chunk of loose mud and stones slid down the hill and fell on the railway track at Toyaput at about 5.30 pm.

As a result, the Koraput-Rourkela Inter City Express was detained at Kakirigumma railway station while the Jagdalpur-Bhubaneswar Hirakhand Express and Howrah-Jagdalpur Samaleswari Express were detained at Baiguda and Laxmipur railway stations respectively.
