Srinagar/UNI: Train service was resumed in south Kashmir on Tuesday after remaining suspended for a day due to heavy snowfall during the past 36 hours.

However, train service remained suspended in north Kashmir where tracks were under three to four feet of snow, a railway official told UNI.

He said snow on Badgam-Srinagar-Anantnag-Qazigund in south Kashmir to Banihal in Jammu region, track has been cleared and train service has been resumed today.

He said no train will chug on Srinagar-Badgam-Baramulla in north Kashmir, where tracks are under three to four feet of snow which has also frozen.

''Snow clearance operation has been launched and train service will be resumed once a green signal is received,'' he said.

Train service has become very popular in the valley as it is cheap, fast and safe against other mode of transport available. After August 5, when the Centre scrapped Article 370 and divided the state into two Union Territories (UTs), train service was suspended for more than three months for security reasons.
