PANJIM: Rail traffic on the Konkan Railway route resumed on Monday night following issuing of track fit certificate. The traffic on Konkan Railway route was interrupted due to continuous heavy rain and ingress of water/slush in Old Goa Tunnel between Karmali and Thivim station on early Monday morning.
This had caused the diversion of several trains during the day as the route was closed for the repair work.
