Badgaum (J&K), Sept 18 : Nearly 95 per cent of the work on the 199-kilometre Qazigund-Baramulla section of the railway project in Kashmir has been completed, but the ongoing protests and shutdowns have stalled any further work.

Official reports had earlier said that the railway track would be completed by August this year but the work seems to be stuck on the last leg of completion.

A red coloured eight-coach Diesel Electric Multiple Unit train stands still on the Badgam-Nowgam sector.

Officials say that the work that was supposed to be completed ahead of schedule is now pending.
