Restoration work

The Southern Railway has imposed a 72-hours block of the section since landslides were reported on Friday morning. Chief Track Engineer Kalimuthan from Chennai is personally supervising the restoration work at the site, according to sources.

Loose soil from the adjacent hillock is constantly coming down due to incessant rains in the region and becoming slurry on the track complicating the work.
