Hyderabad: South Central Railway (SCR) has cancelled 14 special trains to Sabarimala due to a significant drop in passenger numbers following the peak pilgrimage season.
Typically, the footfall remains high until January 15, after which it tends to decline. In anticipation of heavy crowds, SCR had initially scheduled over 120 trains for December and January.
