Srinagar: Train services here
remained suspended for several hours after locals staged protest demonstrations
over the dearth of space in the train.
According to the reports received by KNS, locals of South
Kashmir blocked the train route and started raising slogans against the
authorities over the dearth of space available in the train for travelers.
The protest demonstration gave tough time to the people
at large as the train services remained suspended for hours. Locals while
registering their protest demonstrations stated that they have at several times
submitted before the authorities that the space inside the train must be
extended so that the passengers could not face hardships while travelling to
their respective locations.
Protesters accused that the train services were stated in
valley with much hype but at the end of the day, the tall claims of the
authorities turned out to be a mere ‘hoax’. People also started that
since the train was started from south Kashmir’s Banihal area, the capacity has
not been increased, though several routes have been added.
Protesters stated that the passengers have to face much
hardships due to the huge rush of trains and that the space in the train must
be extended at an earliest.
Later, the police and district administration
reached the spot and tried to pacify the mob. It was assured to the protesters
that the matter will be taken to the railway authorities. (KNS)
