Srinagar, May 7 (IBNS) Indian Railways suspended train services between Baramula and Banihal on Saturday to avoid any untoward event after three militants of Hizbul Mujahideen were killed in a fierce gun battle with security forces in south Kashmir's Pulwama district, media reported.
The train passes through Pulwama on the Baramula-Banihal route. Srinagar is also on this train route.
 
According to reports, Indian Army, Special operation group of Jammu and Kashmir Police and Central Reserve Police Force laid seize around Panzgam village in the early morning after receiving inputs about some militants in the area.
