Railway Minister promises train service to Kashmir before 2024
The minister inspected the Jammu railway station and studied the up-gradation plan for the Jammu and Kathua railway stations

Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Monday promised that rail link with the Kashmir Valley would be open to the public before 2024, an official spokesperson said. He said systematic surveys are being undertaken to link the remotest regions of the country through the mobile network and internet connectivity. Here are more details on this.

Visit
Vaishnaw visited Jammu station, took stock of facilities being provided

The minister, who visited the Jammu Railway Station and a Community Service Centre (CSC), took stock of the facilities being provided to the public. His visit is part of the public outreach initiative of the Union government for Jammu and Kashmir. The railway minister assured that rail link with Kashmir would be open to the public before 2024, the spokesperson said.

Target
Appropriate steps would be taken to facilitate pilgrims, tourists: Vaishnaw

He also inspected the Jammu Railway Station and studied the up gradation plan for the Jammu and Kathua Railway Stations. Vaishnaw assured that appropriate steps would be taken to facilitate pilgrims and tourists reaching Jammu and beyond through the railways. On February 14, former railway minister Piyush Goyal had set the target for completion of the Katra-Qazigund track project by next year.

Project
Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link targeting December 2022 completion

"Reviewed the progress of Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link project in Jammu and Kashmir and deliberated ways for early execution. The project will be completed by 2022 and will facilitate ease of transport for the people of Jammu and Kashmir," Goyal had tweeted. On December 28, 2020, Northern Railway General Manager Ashutosh Gangal had set December 2022 as the target for completion of the project.

Other details
Railway line being built at approximate cost of Rs. 28,000cr

The 272-km railway line is being undertaken at an estimated cost of Rs. 28,000 crore by the northern railway. Gangal said that the first section connecting Udhampur to Katra and the third section between Banihal and Baramulla have been completed with both the sections operational. The work to complete the most difficult Katra-Banihal section is going as per schedule, he added.
