Matsyagandha, Netravati to short-terminate at Panvel for a month

Two prominent trains connecting the South to Mumbai, the Matsyagandha Express and the Netravati Express, will short-terminate at Panvel instead of Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) for approximately one month, starting with journeys commencing on Wednesday, December 31.
