All trains running through south Kashmir remained suspended, a railway official told UNI. However, train service from Srinagar-Badgam to Baramulla in north Kashmir continued to chug as per schedule, he added.

He said no train will run on Badgam-Srinagar-Anantnag-Qazigung in south Kashmir to Banihal in Jammu region.

"We are acting on the advice of local administration and police who are taking decision keeping in view the security situation in the valley," he said, adding that a fresh advisory was received on Wednesday night to suspend the train service in south Kashmir.

Train runs will be resumed only after receiving green signal from police, he said.
