New Delhi: A passenger body, along with several local commuters from the Kangra Valley, has urged Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to restore all seven pairs of trains on the Pathankot-Baijnath route instead of operating only two pairs, to reduce heavy daily overcrowding and unsafe travel conditions for passengers.
Operations on the historic 164-km narrow-gauge line were suspended for nearly four years after extensive damage caused by floods and landslides. Before services were halted, seven pairs of trains operated on the route, providing vital connectivity to daily commuters from nearly 20 towns between Pathankot and Baijnath Paprola.
