Today's Hindu (11-June,2014) had a small press release which said that the CM of Kerala has urged the Railway minister to reconsider the decision to withdraw stoppages as it would cause hardships to passengers.
So in all probability it would be back to square one. Probably one way railways could have managed it better is to withdraw stops in a phased manner rather than announcing it at one time. I think it was the number of stations that took everyone by surprise hence this hue and cry .
