Srinagar, May 7 (IBNS) Indian Railways suspended train services between Baramula and Banihal on Saturday to avoid any untoward event after three militants of Hizbul Mujahideen were killed in a fierce gun battle with security forces in south Kashmir's Pulwama district, media reported.
The train passes through Pulwama on the Baramula-Banihal route. Srinagar is also on this train route.
