Srinagar, Jan 3: A special inspection train is set to operate from Srinagar to Jammu on January 5, marking a historic milestone in the region’s railway network. This milestone is part of the broader efforts to enhance connectivity in the Union Territory.
Sources confirmed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will announce the establishment of the Jammu Railway Division via video conferencing on January 6.
The announcement will take place in the presence of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, underscoring the importance of the project for the region.
The Union Railway Minister is scheduled to visit the Srinagar Railway Station on January 5 to inspect the ongoing works under the USBRL (Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link) project, which is a key component of the Kashmir rail initiative.
Further inspections are scheduled for January 7 and 8, when Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) Dinesh Chand Deshwal will assess the Reasi-Katra section of the Kashmir rail project.
This section, known for its challenging terrain, is a crucial link in the overall project aimed at improving transportation and economic opportunities in the region.
Indian Railways is set to introduce a new Vande Bharat train and two Mail/Express trains for the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. These trains will operate between Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra (SVDK) and Srinagar railway stations and will be maintained by the Northern Railway zone.
As per a communication from Northern Railways Vande Bharat Train will depart from Katra (SVDK) at 8:10 am. and arrive at Srinagar Railway Station at 11:20 am.; Mail/Express Train 1 will depart from Katra at 9:50 am. and arrive at Srinagar Railway Station at 1:10 pm. and Mail/Express Train 2 will depart from Katra at 3:00 pm. and arrive at Srinagar Railway Station at 6:20 pm.
The 17-km Katra-Reasi section’s final phase, including the challenging T-33 tunnel, has been completed. The Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail project, initiated in 2005-06, includes several sections: the 118 km Qazigund-Baramulla section (2009), the 18 km Banihal-Qazigund (2013), and the 25 km Udhampur-Katra (2014). In February, a successful electric train trial run was held on the 40 km Banihal-Sangaldan track, and normal train operations are currently running on this section.
The railway line features 38 tunnels, including the T-49, India’s longest at 12.75 km, and 927 bridges, including the world’s highest railway arch bridge over the Chenab River and the only cable-stayed rail bridge in India over the Anji River in Reasi.
