4 long-distance trains to resume operations from Jammu, Katra
Jammu, Sept. 20 -- Following improvement in weather conditions, the northern railways will resume four long distance trains from Jammu and Katra from Sunday and Monday, said officials.
Due to continuous rains and waterlogging in the Jammu division over the past few days, many trains had to be cancelled and some had to be terminated before their destination. However, Jammu divisional railway manager Vivek Kumar and other officials periodically review various sections to ensure train safety. In this regard, four long distance passenger trains will be resumed from Sunday and Monday.
Train no 12238 (Jammu Tawi - Varanasi), 12332 (Jammu Tawi - Howrah) and 12356 (Jammu Tawi - Patna) will be resumed from Sunday, while train no 12920 (Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra - Dr. Ambedkar Nagar) will be resumed from Monday.
Speaking on the operation of these trains, senior divisional commercial manager, Uchit Singhal, said, "These trains are being re-operated after ensuring the safety and continuity of the railway track."
"As soon as the technical work on the railway track and railway bridge is completed, the train operations in the division are being gradually normalised. To avoid any inconvenience, passengers are advised to first check the train schedule on the northern railway website or the relevant helpline numbers," he said.
Meanwhile, a pair of special train between Katra and Banihal was introduced on Friday due to road disruptions on Jammu Srinagar national highway (NH 44)....
