Scores of villagers in central Kashmir's Budgam district today attempted to block the railway track in support of their demand for a halting point for the train running between north and south Kashmir, police said.

The villagers of Naidigam staged a demonstration on the railway track in the village to press for a halting point for train and resorted to stone pelting when police rushed to the spot to clear the track, they said.

No one was injured in the clashes which were still continuing when last reports were received.

However, the train service remained largely unaffected, police added.
