On Saturday too, an over head cable (OHE) snapped at Sandhurst Road around 9 am. Due to this, three services were cancelled and the train schedule remained affected till 4 pm.
CR authorities said they would replace old OHE cables, clips (which bind the OHE cables to the train&rsquo;s pantograph), level track gradients and even lower the height of the train by chipping the wheels to ensure such incidents are minimised.
