SRINAGAR, Feb 1: Chairman People’s Democratic Front (PDF) Hakeem Mohammad Yaseen has demanded to restart rail service between Banihal and Baramulla, which remains suspended from March last year in wake of Coronavirus pandemic.
“Government has declared all the 20 districts of the J&K Union Territory as green zones and opened all educational institutions, cinemas and restaurants. There was no reason to keep rail service between Baramulla to Banihal and vice versa continuously suspended”, Hakeem Yaseen said adding that common people especially commuters face tremendous hardships due to continuous suspension of the rail service.
He has urged the Government to resume the rail service without any further delay for convenience of the people. He also has urged the Central Government to complete construction of Katra-Banihal portion of the Jammu-Baramulla railway track on war footing basis.
Hakeem Yaseen also urged the Central and J&K Union Territory Governments to utilize all the available resources and modern technologies for completing four-lanning of Srinagar-Jammu National highway.
