Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee’s (HPCC) newly appointed working president and former Kangra MP Chander Kumar Chowdhary has alleged that the railway department had conspired to close Pathankot-Jogindernagar narrow gauge train service by suspending train service indefinitely declaring the Chakki railway near Kandwal in Nurpur unsafe.
In a statement issued here today, Chowdhary said the double-engine government led by Jai Ram Thakur in the state was silent on sudden closure of the economical railway transport service benefiting thousands of people of Kangra district.
