Considering the alertness for 'Vayu' cyclone over Gujarat, Western Railway has decided to fully cancel operation of 15 mainline trains, while 16 other mainline trains will be short terminated with partial cancellation as a precautionary measure in the cyclone prone areas, Western Railway said on its website wr.indianrailways.gov.in. "In addition to this, various safety and security precautions are also being taken by Western Railway for train passengers of these prone areas under its jurisdiction -Veraval, Okha, Porbandar, Bhavnagar, Bhuj and Gandhidham," Western Railway added.
