TIRUPATI: Carriage Repair Shop (CRS) run by the Indian Railways and administered by the South Central Railway (SCR) in Tirupati, is set to resume operations in a full-fledged manner. Railway Employees Unions and leaders of CRS Staff Union received an assurance in this regard from SCR General Manager Vinod Kumar Yadav on Thursday.
