As the work was progressing, train no 2512 Thiruvnanthapuram Ghorakpur express and Chennai Alappuzha trains were retained at Thuravoor and Kumbalam respectively and these trains were running more than three hours behind schedule.
It was expecting that the traffic would be restored in two hours, the sources added.
Since the track was laid on the coastal area and there were lot of coconut palms in the area, and if a tree falls tree fall on a running train, there would be major tragedy.
