The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) has expressed serious concern over the suspension of train service between Qazigund to Banihal.
The party has emphasized the Govt to withdraw the order ofsuspension of vehicle traffic and train service forthwith to ensure that peopleas well as other tourists were not put to hardships due to its decision.
The JKPCC President G.A. Mir while welcoming the yearlyAmarnath Yatra has said that people of JK have always been enthusiastic toextend every help to people coming from across the country to perform yearlyAmarnath Yatra, besides they whole-heartedly welcome the Yatris and they willcontinue to remain important part of Yatra, Mir said.
The decision to suspend the train service and vehiculartraffic on NH was a bizarre move on the part of both State and Centre Govt,which should be revoked to ensure that people as well as other tourists comingto valley were not put to hardships, they too have the right to enjoy theirtrip to valley and other parts of the State, Mir said.I understand that the Govt was duty-bound toensure safety and security, besides facilitating smooth movement of Yatra,which it was doing, but the suspensionof the vehicular movement and train service has not gone well, for the factcommon people in JK believes that the decision of the Govt was not peoplefriendly and that concern has to be addressed in the larger interests of people.
