Students, employees demand separate DMUs between Udhampur-Jammu 8/22/2014 12:05:03 AM Udhampur, Aug 21 : Face huge inconvenience in travelling to and fro on Diesel Multipurpose unit ( DMU) trains daily after the inauguration of Katra- Udhampur rail track on 4th of July , University students and unemployed youth today held a huge protest rally at railway station Udhampur demanding separate DMU's between Udhampur and Jammu at the earliest. Hundreds of university going students and youths of the city including girls today held a massive protest in front of railway station here at Udhampur to awaken the deep slumber of railway authorities with regards huge inconvenience being faced by them while travelling in the DMUs on Udhampur - Jammu railway track as these DMUs are fully jam packed with yatries who travel to pay obeisnece at Mata Vaishoo Devi Shrine. " We have already served several memoranda to railway authorities in Jammu and Udhampur but the officials are in deep slumber as they have taken no action to ease out our inconvenience from the past one and half month. We are fed up as there is no place even to stand as we travel from Udhampur to Jammu every morning and are mistreated every day by the devotees in the trains", said Rajesh Kumar a student of Jammu University. " It is not bearable any more as we girls have to face mischievous acts which travellers do in the pretext of heavy rush in these DMUs and the railway officials have turn a blind eye towards these problems. We were told that more DMUs will be pressed into service once the Udhampur - Katra rail section begins but after a lapse of nearly two months , situations have turned from worse to worst", said Meenakashi , another student. All the protestors were demanding separate DMU's between Udhampur and Jammu and were assured by the station superintendent that this genuine demand of theirs will be soon resolved by the higher authorities.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
