Visakhapatnam; and Tirupati – Gudur – Vijayawada – Samalkot/Kakinada – Visakhapatnam Sections of

passenger/express trains running within this area are likely to be fully/partially cancelled / regulated as per
the demands of the situation.
The long distance express trains running between the Southern part of the country and Eastern
parts through Vijayawada – Visakhapatnam – Bhubaneswar route are likely to be regulated/diverted to
suitable alternate routes like–via Renigunta/Guntakal; and via Vijayawada/Kazipet/ Balharshah etc. as per
