However, trains continued to chug on Srinagar-Badgam in central Kashmir to Baramulla in north Kashmir as per schedule on Friday, a senior railway official told UNI.
He said all train runs between Srinagar-Anantnag-Qazigund in south Kashmir to Banihal in Jammu region were suspended on Friday for security reasons. Today all trains are running as per schedule in the valley, he said.
"We have no role in suspending and resuming train service in the valley," he said adding we are acting as per advisory received from police.
He said trains operating in the valley are witnessing heavy rush particularly on Saturday and Monday.
Last month the train service was suspended on several days for security reasons, particularly when there was strike call by separatists.
Rail service has become very popular in the valley, which is being considered very cheap, safe and fast against other mode of transport service.
