Vizag Train Disruptions: KK Line Modernisation Impacts Services on Dec 24
Modernisation works on the KK line in Waltair Division are causing temporary service changes for several key trains today, December 24, 2025, affecting commuters and long-distance travelers from Visakhapatnam. These upgrades aim to enhance track efficiency and safety but lead to short-terminations, urging passengers to check IRCTC updates before travel.
Visakhapatnam–Kirandul Passenger (58501/02): Short-terminated at Koraput, no extension to Kirandul today.
Rourkela–Jagadalpur Express (18107/08): Services halted at Koraput, impacting Odisha-Andhra routes.
Hirakhand Express (18447/48): Partial cancellation beyond Koraput, major inconvenience for eastern passengers
Railway authorities recommend alternate buses or rescheduling, with normalcy expected post-works. Vizag's Waltair Division handles heavy freight alongside passengers, making these upgrades crucial for future growth.
