Train services resume after day-long suspension in Kashmir

Srinagar, Mar 9 (UNI): Train service resumed on Saturday after remaining suspended on Friday for security reasons in Kashmir valley, where separatists had called for a strike in protest against the detention of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik under Public Safety Act (PSA) and banning of Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI).

''All trains will run on schedule on Badgam-Srinagar-Anantnag-Qazigund in south Kashmir to Banihal in Jammu region,'' a railway official said.

He said all trains would run on Srinagar-Badgam in central Kashmir to Baramulla in north Kashmir as well.

Official sources said the railway department received a fresh advisory from police to resume the service on Saturday and the department was acting on it.

“The service was suspended on Friday as a precautionary measure following the strike called by separatists,” he said.

The passengers are the ones who suffer in the end.

''I travel every day from Anantnag to Srinagar and back by train. Every time the train service is suspended, I have to take a cab, which takes much more time and costs way more money,” Nisar Ahmad, a passenger, told UNI.
