The traffic department has expressed concerns about allocating a platform during peak hours, and the delay in moving the Mangala Express from the platform adds to the problem.

Traffic department ne peak hours mein platform allocate karne ke baare mein concern dikhaaya hai, aur Mangala Express ko platform se move karne mein delay bhi problem hai. Southern Railway ne sabhi platforms par fueling points install karne ke request par koi response nahin diya hai.

Venad Express ko divert karne aur Ernakulam-Karaikal Express ko North railway station se Kottayam tak extend karne ka suggestion Ernakulam South railway station par crowd manage karne mein madad kar sakta hai.
