Thousands of passengers in Kangra district shall now miss economical railway transport service on Pathankot- Jogindernagar narrow gauge as railway authorities have suspended train service indefinitely after declaring the Chakki railway bridge near Kandwal in Nurpur unsafe and unfit for plying of trains on the track.
A technical team from the Railway Division, Ferozepur (Punjab), inspecting the dilapidated condition of the Chakki Bridge recommended suspension of train service on the narrow-gauge track indefinitely and suggested re-construction of the bridge.
