PM Modi will flag off Kashmir’s first Vande Bharat train from Katra on 19th April, completing the 272-km Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link.
The Jammu-Katra-Srinagar Vande Bharat Express will start from Katra as Jammu station is renovating.
Officials confirmed the rail link project was completed in February, with successful trial runs on the Katra-Baramulla route.
The train will reduce travel time between Jammu and Srinagar, offering a modern and efficient service.
Union Minister Jitendra Singh stated that PM Modi will visit the world’s highest railway bridge before flagging off the train on 19th April.
The project began in 1997 and faced delays due to challenging terrain and weather conditions.
It includes 38 tunnels (the longest being 12.75 km) and 927 bridges, including the Chenab Bridge, which is taller than the Eiffel Tower and the highest arch railway bridge in the world.
