Rail Vikas Nigam Limited has suspended the Vanchi Maniyachi-Nagercoil railway track doubling work since Monday after the State Government announced lockdown to prevent spreading of COVID-19 infection from Tuesday.
According to RVNL sources, the work on providing interconnectivity around Vanchi Maniyachi railway station began after completing the doubling work for around 45 km.
