86 Trains Reinstated

In a piece of relieving news for passengers, the Railway Administration has decided to reinstate 86 trains that had previously been temporarily cancelled. This includes 76 Express trains and 10 Passenger trains.

Why Was This Decision Taken?

Non-interlocking work was scheduled to be carried out at Champa Station for the construction of a fourth railway line; consequently, the decision to cancel these trains had been taken.
