Narendra Modi on Saturday promised to connect unlinked areas of Jammu and Kashmir through the railway network, announcing that trains will soon reach the Kashmir valley. Addressing an election rally in the Doda district in support of BJP candidates earlier in the day, Modi said work on the railway line between Srinagar and Ramban is complete and the trial runs have begun.
«We are working to connect the unlinked areas of Jammu and Kashmir through rail. Soon, the people of Ramban, Doda, Kishtwar, and Kashmir will be able to travel directly to Delhi by train. I will fulfil your dream,» Modi said at the rally.
«Very soon, trains will run to Srinagar through Ramban. The work on the railway line is complete, the station is ready, and trials have already begun,» he added.
The Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL) project nearing completion is set to establish a direct link between Kashmir and the rest of the country. Of the total 272 km of the USBRL project, 161 km has already been commissioned in phases.
The first phase, the 118-km Qazigund-Baramulla section, was commissioned in October 2009, followed by the 18-km Banihal-Qazigund stretch in June 2013, and the 25-km Udhampur-Katra section in July 2014.
