In Jammu and Kashmir, the ambitious railway line linking Katra to Sangaldan in Ramban district is on track to be finalized by June this year, with work progressing rapidly. Akashvani Jammu Correspondent reports that presently, the trains operate along the railway line from Kanyakumari to Katra, while services run from Baramulla to Sangaldan in the Kashmir Valley. The impending connection between Katra and Sangaldan is poised to bridge the gap in rail connectivity, facilitating seamless travel from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Director General of Railway Protection Force (RPF), Manoj Yadav recently conducted an extensive inspection of the newly constructed railway line and stations between Banihal and Sangaldan in Ramban district. During his visit, he meticulously examined the railway station and RPF post, ensuring security measures were in place. The Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project, including the 48.1 km long Banihal-Sangaldan section, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 20. This ambitious endeavor, totaling 272 km, represents a significant milestone in India’s railway infrastructure development. Phase I of the project, covering the 118 km long Qazigund-Baramulla section, was inaugurated in October 2009. Subsequent phases saw the inauguration of the 18 km long Banihal-Qazigund section in June 2013 and the 25 km long Udhampur-Katra section in July 2014.
