With the ongoing partial lockdown in the state, there have been quite a few special trains that have been instrumental in taking the passengers during these difficult times. But with strict limitations on travel, the Waltair Railway Division of ECoR has been doing a consistent cancellation of special trains through Vizag, taking into account the lack of demand.
Due to the second wave of Covid-19 infection and poor patronization of special trains along the Vizag route, East Coast Railway (ECoR) has decided to extend the cancellation of special trains as detailed below:
