Srinagar:
The train services continued to run partially in Kashmir for the eight consecutive days.The train in Kashmir has been plying partially between Banihal to Budgam from August 11 due to the security concerns. A railway official said they were waiting for a green signal from the security agencies to run the train up to Baramulla in north Kashmir.“The train service up to Baramulla will be resumed only after getting clearance from the railway security force,” said the railway official.Sources said after a rack was damaged during stone-pelting incidents at several stations in south Kashmir on August 10, the railway police had arrested dozens of youth and suspended the rail operations partially.“As many of the arrested youth are from the north Kashmir, we suspect that there might be some trouble if we ply the train up to Baramulla. That is the reason why the train is plying only up to central Kashmir’s Budgam station. But a decision to ply the train up to Baramulla will be taken very soon,” said an official from the railway police.The daily train commuters from north Kashmir are, however, angry with the railways for plying the train only up to Budgam.
