Srinagar,
Nov 3: Train service has again been suspended on Friday for security
reasons in south Kashmir, where a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) militant and two Army
personnel were killed in a fierce encounter late last Thursday night.
However, trains continued to chug on Srinagar-Badgam in central Kashmir to Baramulla in north Kashmir as per schedule, a senior railway official told this morning.
He said all train runs between Srinagar-Anantnag-Qazigund in south Kashmir to Banihal in Jammu region have been suspended on Friday for security reasons.
He said an advisory was received from police to suspend train service in south Kashmir.
Hundreds of passengers, who had arrived at railway stations this morning in south Kashmir, were disappointed after they were informed that rail service on Srinagar and Banihal has been suspended. However, there was no strike call from any separatist organisation.
Last month the train service was suspended on several days for security reasons, particularly when there was strike call by separatists.
Rail service has become very popular in the Valley, which is being considered very cheap, safe and fast against other mode of transport service. UNI
