Coimbatore: Nilgiri Mountain train service continues on Monday after a gap for more than four months.
Goods to the Hill Retreat must enjoy the beautiful valleys of Western Ghats when the train reviews slowly on Monday morning.
The response to the service was extraordinary on the first day.
“I was told that the train trip offered a view of tea plantations, waterfalls, and a spacious valley, which might not be given a trip.
I have been waiting for the train service to continue throughout the day,” said M Rajeshwar, a quality control manager in the garment unit in Tirupur, who rode the train with his family.
The train service, which is a big hit with tourists throughout the country and abroad, suspended during the first wave of Covid-19.
It was continued when cases fell, but again suspended on April 21 after the second wave hit.
As a tourist spot in Nilgiris was also closed, there was no tourist flow over the past four months.
Now cases have fallen and tourist attractions are reopened, there is a stable increase in the number of tourists.
When more people start traveling to nilgiris, the demand for continuing the train service grows, as a result of where the train authority decides to operate the train.
Only those who have made a previous order permitted.
They were filtered through a thermal scanner before taking the train.
The passengers provided hand sanitis and were asked to keep the distance during the trip.
