The Western Railway (WR) on Friday cancelled 46 trains and short terminated another nine trains with partial cancellation, as a precautionary measure in view of the Cyclone Vayu affecting Gujarat.

To ensure safe movement of trains, the WR will first run the light engine with the staff of the concerned department to remove obstruction on track, if any.

The move came after several trees and poles were uprooted at Bhavnagar Para Station due to cyclonic winds. Heavy showers caused waterlogging outside Junagadh Station.
