After almost two months of disruption of train services due to farm protests in Punjab, a freight train carrying essential commodities chugged into the State at about 2 pm on Monday.
Next, passenger trains will be resumed soon, indicated a Railway official.
The resumption of services will put Punjab back on rail connectivity map.
On Sunday night, Indian Railways informed that freight train services to Punjab will resume first, followed by passenger trains subject to safety and security clearance. It had till then planned restoration of eight passenger trains to Punjab and nine for Jammu and Katra over the next few days.

For over 57 days now, Punjab, parts of Himachal Pradesh; Jammu; and Kashmir have been disconnected due to the rail-roko agitation.
“Businesses in Punjab — from food-to-fertiliser, power and hosiery — have been impacted,” said sources from industry.

According to railways, 230 freight rakes heading to Punjab and up north were stabled along the railway tracks leading to potential network congestion in railway network.
