Jammu – The Northern Railways on Monday started a shuttle service between Jammu and Katra, the base camp of the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine, to facilitate the movement of locals and stranded passengers.

Four trains have been inducted in the Jammu-Katra section for the shuttle service that will operate from September 1 to 15.

“The shuttle service has been started between Jammu and Katra to facilitate the movement of daily passengers and stranded persons besides labourers engaged in restoration work,” a Railway official said. These included government employees and students.

Rail traffic has remained suspended in the Jammu railway division for the past one week due to misalignment and breaches at multiple locations in the Pathankot-Jammu section following heavy rains and flash floods on August 26.

Over 50 trains were cancelled on Monday.
