ALLEPPEY: Railways takes action against Alappuzha station master after the delay of trains. Station Master KS Vinod has been suspended from service. The action against Vinod is in the background of stopping coaches on all three tracks. Coaches were stopped at 6:30 a.m. on all three tracks for shunting to change the engines. Following this, other trains had to wait outside the station premises without access. There was big traffic congestion due to this.

Eranad and Ernakulam passenger was halted. Dhanbad Express was delayed an hour and a half. It is reported that about six trains via Alappuzha have been delayed. Railway officials are yet to comment on the matter.
