Train services on the Chattogram-Cox's Bazar route resumed on July 12, 2026, after a five-day suspension caused by heavy rainfall and flash floods. Heavy rains submerged railway sections, specifically between Janalihat, Sholashahar, and Dohazari, requiring urgent repairs where rail lines were raised by approximately one foot with stones. The disruption affected four pairs of daily trains and thousands of passengers.
