“Considering the urgency, we have immediately arranged a special train for all classes of passengers to return to their home cities,” Himanshu Upadhyay, Chief Public Relation Officer, Northern Railway, said.
The train, after starting from Sri Vaishno Devi Katra at 9:20 pm, will halt at several other stations en route such as Udhampur, Jammu, Pathankot, Jalandhar, Ambala, Kurukshetra and Panipat before terminating at the New Delhi Railway Station at 9:30 am on Thursday.
“This train will have seven general, eight sleeper and three AC coaches,” Upadhyay said.
He added, “If the number of passengers exceeds this train’s capacity, we have a backup plan to run more such special trains at the earliest.” PTI JP MNK MNK
