Two migrant labourers from Uttar Pradesh were on Friday injured in a terrorist attack in the Budgam district of central Kashmir.
Having remained suspended for about seven weeks due to the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic, train service was partially resumed in the Kashmir valley on Thursday.
Passengers in large numbers were seen proceeding towards the railway stations to catch the train.
The train service had remained suspended for about eleven months during the first wave of Covid-19. It was resumed in February this year but was again suspended on 10 May amidst the second wave of the pandemic.

The trains are being operated at half the seating capacity to ensure social distancing among passengers as per the Covid-19 protocol.
