frequent cancellations of popular express and passenger trains, including the Visakhapatnam-Guntur Simhadri Express and the AC Double Decker UDAY Express, have affected daily commuters who rely on trains for work and studies. The cancellations, often announced at the last minute, leave passengers scrambling for alternative transportation at higher costs. The Duvvada Railway Users Association suggests that instead of complete cancellation, trains could be partially cancelled, with short-terminations or short-originations, to minimize inconvenience to passengers and reduce losses for the railways.

trains ki wajah se around ₹60.22 crore ka hai. Popular express aur passenger trains, jaise ki Visakhapatnam-Guntur Simhadri Express aur AC Double Decker UDAY Express, ka bar bar cancel hone se daily commuters ko pareshani ho rahi hai, jo kaam aur padhai ke liye train pe depend karte hain. Cancellation ka announcement aakhir waqt pe hone ki wajah se passengers ko zyada paise dekar alternative transport dhundna padta hai. Duvvada Railway Users Association ka suggestion hai ki complete cancellation ki jagah, trains ko partially cancel kiya jaaye, jisme short-terminations ya short-originations ho, jisse passengers ko kam pareshani ho aur railway ko kam nuksan ho.
