The suspension is due to the installation of steel girders for the MRTS extension at St Thomas Mount. Commuters argue that the railway should schedule repairs and yard work at night or on Sundays to minimize disruption. The cancellation of services without informing the public or providing alternative arrangements has caused further frustration. Railway officials claim that the trains are cancelled based on the availability of resources and peak travel times.Railways to run 5 special trains passing OdishaThe Railways will operate five special trains during Diwali and Chhat festival to accommodate the additional rush of passengers.
