Capt Amarinder speaks to Amit Shah on goods train services issue, says hopeful of early resolution

Chandigarh, Nov 8 (UNI) Reiterating his assurance of smooth and safe goods train movement in the state, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Sunday said he had spoken to Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his intervention to ensure restoration of rail services and was hopeful of early resolution of the issue.
The Chief Minister spoke to Shah yesterday to discuss the situation and assured him that there were no law and order concerns to prevent resumption of the services for facilitating supply of essential commodities in Punjab and neighbouring states, including Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir, all of which were suffering colossal losses due to the continued suspension of trains. He pointed out that the security concerns could, however, be serious for the nation if essential supplies did not reach the armed forces in Ladakh and the Valley before snowfall due to the Railways’ decision not to ply goods trains immediately.
Countering the misinformation being spread on this count, Captain Amarinder said all tracks had been cleared by farmers for movement of freight trains. The situation on the ground was totally peaceful and conducive to safe transportation of goods, he apprised the Home Minister. He pointed out that the agitating farmers had not disturbed peace in any part of Punjab over the past few weeks of their protests.
