JAMMU, Aug 29: The train service between Budgam in central Kashmir and Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra (SVDK) in the Jammu<\/a> division resumed on Saturday after being suspended for nearly two months due to the Amarnath Yatra, bringing relief to commuters, an official said.<\/p>\n

The train service from both sides had been suspended from June 29, ahead of the commencement of the 57-day-long annual pilgrimage to the holy cave shrine of Amarnath, located at an elevation of 3,880 metres in the Valley. The pilgrimage concluded on Friday, coinciding with Raksha Bandhan.<\/p>\n

“Keeping in view the convenience of passengers, particularly devotees travelling to Mata Vaishno Devi shrine, Train Nos 04688\/04687 between Budgam and SVDK have been restored with effect from August 29. The trains will now operate on their regular route as per the scheduled timings,” a spokesperson of the northern railway’s Jammu division said.<\/p>\n

According to the revised schedule, Train No 04688 departed from Budgam at 7.20 am and will reach Katra at 1 pm. In the return direction, Train No 04687 will leave Katra at 1.45 pm and arrive at Budgam at 8 pm, the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

He added that the resumption of the service is expected to ease travel for residents of the Valley and pilgrims, who can now travel between the two regions by a direct train service.<\/p>\n
