The Jammu Division of the Northern Railway has announced resumption of four more trains in the seventh phase from December 1. In August this year, operations of multiple trains were suspended due to damage to the rail track due to heavy rains and flashfloods in different parts of the region.

“Due to continuous rains and waterlogging in the Jammu Division of the Northern Railway a few months ago, many trains had to be cancelled and some had to be terminated before their destination. However, divisional officials are periodically reviewing various sections and ensuring train safety, and trains are being reinstated from time to time. In this regard, some trains will resume operations in the seventh phase,” said Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Uchit Singhal.
