Train service resumes in Kashmir

Train service resumes in Kashmir

Srinagar, Oct 22 (UNI) Train service today resumed in the Kashmir valley, after remaining suspended on Saturday for security reasons as the separatists had called for a general strike against the braid chopping incidents. 'We have resumed all trains in the valley', a senior railway official told UNI on Sunday morning. He said that all trains were suspended yesterday for security reasons following an advisory received from police to suspend the service. However, no fresh advisory for suspension of the the train service was received from police last night, and therefore trains will chug on Srinagar-Badgam in the central Kashmir to Baramulla in north today. Similarly trains will run on Srinagar-Anantnag-Qazigund in south Kashmir to Banihal in Jammu, he added. 'We act only on the advice of the police to suspend or resume the train service, he added. The official admitted the fact that commuters were facing inconvenience due to suspension of train service, as Saturday and Monday witness a rush of passengers who are traveling to home and the ones who are on the way to the place of postings. Railway has become quite popular in the Kashmir valley for being low on cost, fast and safe as compared to other modes of transport. The separatists had called for a strike on Saturday against braid chapping in the valley, where over 150 such incidents have been reported during the past two months, while the police failed to make any break-through.
