Train runs were suspended several times last month for security reasons on directions from the administration.
Both the factions of the Hurriyat Conference and Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) have called for a strike to protest against death of two civilians in Anantnag, where two Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants were killed in an encounter with security forces yesterday. (KNS)
