Some trains will continue to be short-terminated as restoration of the track on the Kothavalasa–Kirandul (K-K) line between Manabar-Jarati, where a landslip had occurred in the early hours of September 24, is going on a war-footing at the site.
A team of senior officials from Waltair Division, lead by Divisional Railway Manager Saurabh Prasad, reached the site and deployed heavy duty machinery and materials and engaged workers in large numbers to speedup the restoration works. Despite inclement weather, the restoration works are going on in full swing.
Some trains in this line are short-terminated to avoid inconvenience to the passengers. The trains short terminated are 18514 Visakhapatnam-Kirandul Night express, leaving Visakhapatnam on September 25 will be short terminated at Koraput and return from Koraput as 18513 to Visakhapatnam on September 26. Hence, there is no service between Koraput-Jagdalpur on September 26.
