For security reasons train service on Badgam-Srinagar-Anantnag-Qazigund in south Kashmir and Banihal in Jammu region remained suspended for the second day today, a railway official said.
He said train service was suspended yesterday following reports about clashes between security forces and demonstrators in Anantnag.
Clashes took place after an encounter ensued between security forces and militants holed up in a house at village Hassanpora Anantnag.
However, train service between Badgam to Baramulla resumed this morning after remaining suspended for the past three days.
Train service on the track was suspended on December 5 after track hooks were found damaged at Palhallan Pattan, where clashes took place between security forces and demonstrators, who were protesting against night raids and arrest of some persons on December 4.
Train service was restored next day after the damaged portion of the track was restored by the railways.
However, service was again suspended in the afternoon same day following massive clashes between demonstrators and security forces at Tantrapora Pattan.
