Srinagar, May 25
Train service remained suspended for the second day on Saturday in the Kashmir valley for security reasons following killing of Ansar Gazwatul chief Hind Zakir Musa, in an encounter by security forces in Pulwama district during over 12 hours Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) which ended early Friday.
Train service could not be restored as a fresh advisory was received last night that all trains will remain suspended on Saturday also, official sources told
Zakir Musa and another militant were killed in an encounter by security forces at Dadsar Tral in Pulwama.
Therefore, they said, no train will run on Badgam-Srinagar-Anantnag-Qazigund in south Kashmir to Banihal in Jammu region. Trains will not chug on Srinagar-Badgam-Baramulla in north Kashmir track, they added.
Meanwhile, people who had arrived at different railway station were disappointed after they were informed that train service will remain suspended today also. Saturday evening normally witness heavy rush of passengers when people are going to their homes.
However, sources said railway authorities are acting on the advice of local administration, particularly police, who are taking decision to suspend train service after keeping in view the safety and security of the passengers and railway property. In the past, railway suffered huge damage when train, railway stations and lighting system were damaged during demonstrations.
Train service has become very popular in the valley since it is very cheap, safe and fast against other mode of transport.
