Railway winds up DMU; office goers, students left high and dry 12/21/2015 11:02:30 PM Shiv Dev Thakur Early Times Report Katra, Dec 21: Office goers and students have been left high and dry as the Railway authorities winded up DMUs running from Katra to Jammu to and fro. Reliable sources told Early Times that reducing the number of trains to Katra has become a point of discussion again as various locals as well as the Yatries have suffered. Sources said that the office goers from Katra who are posted in Jammu as well as students studying in Jammu who used to travel by the early DMU(Local Train) that was scheduled to leave Katra at 7:30 am in Morning and leave back to Katra from Jammu at 5:30 pm have suffered a major problem by this reduction of train. "The same travelers had to travel by bus now in order to go to the duty and classes which is somewhat expensive and the other trains which are running are also bit expensive are leave late as if compared to the DMUs ", said the sources. Sources also said that earlier after the completion of the railway station, the pilgrims travelling from all over the country are facing the problem as the railway authorities discontinued some long distance trains from the other cities and now the DMUs were winded up. Sources also said that earlier, the DMU running in the early morning was earlier suspended as it was the same train which met with an Accident but after the suspension of the Train, all the DMU's got wind up. A railway official pleading anonymity said, "the DMUs were winded up so as to prevent clashes between the timmings of DMUs with National trains as there is a massive problem of passing due to single rail line". Several attempts to contact DRM Jammu Railway station went in vain as his cellphone was out of coverage.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
