Masoodi dismayed over absence of any special train service for stranded JK residents

SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Member of Parliament from Anantnag Hasnain Masoodi on Tuesday expressed dismay over the failure of Ministry of Railways and J&K administration to announce Shramik special non-stop train for the residents of Jammu and Kashmir stranded in Kolkata, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Cochin, and other cities.
Masoodi stated that thousands of stranded people, without resources to meet the travel expenses are trying to book railway tickets online for afew trains operating from Kolkata, Mumbai, and other stations, “railway tickets are already sold out making it impossible to make the bookings, for that reason thousands of stranded J&K residents at Mumbai and other cities for the said reason are not able to book the tickets for next 2 weeks, thus further delaying their return.”
While drawing the attention of GOI towards the plight of stranded J&K laborers in various cities across the country he said that more than 500 shramik special train were operated to ferry the stranded laborers to Bihar, Orissa and other states free of charge, and that not a single shramik special train has been provided to transport the stranded labourers, students and small businessmen from Kolkata, Mumbai and other stations.
