HYDERABAD, Sept 2: Amid heavy rainfall in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the South Central Railway (SCR) has cancelled 21 more trains and diverted 10 others due to waterlogging over tracks at several locations.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Telangana CM Revanth Reddy and enquired about the situation in both states in the wake of heavy rains and floods.
During his talks on Sunday, the PM assured all possible assistance from the Centre to overcome the challenge.
Telangana's Transport and B ackward Classes (BC) Welfare Minister Poonam Prabhakar also interacted with the stranded passengers at Kazipet Junction in Hanumakonda on Sunday and enquired about their problems, a release said.
He was accompanied by MLAs Naini Rajender Reddy, Kavvampalli Satyanarayana, and Hanumakonda Collector Praveenya, among other officials, the release said.
The minister assured the passengers that the railway track would be restored as soon as the floodwaters receded and train services would resume.
