CRS was done and crew requirement in panvel-roha-ratnagiri section is by CR, not KR so it makes sense they give notification.
If work was not done how did they ran a freight train over a month ago?

Re# 4971809-10              
Shortly before inspection an acquaintance of mine had traveled end to end in KRMI tejas and had reported yards at multiple places being unwired. Despite that CRS happened some days later and I had a hunch that loops in many cases were unwired. Turns out they still are unwired.

57 coaches despatched for Mangala Exp. Requires 95 more coaches....rakes are slowly coming in. I think instead of starting phase wise they may wait for all rakes to come and then convert all of them.

Hope that speed increases and travel time reduces
