The dream of connecting Kashmir with the rest of the country through rail route is going to be fulfilled soon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off the first train from Katra to Srinagar on 19 April. Union Minister Jitendra Singh confirmed this and said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off the Jammu-Srinagar Vande Bharat train from Katra on 19 April. Kashmir is going to get this gift after the completion of the 272 km long Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla railway link project to connect Kashmir with other parts of the country.

The Jammu-Katra-Srinagar Vande Bharat Express will start from Katra as the Jammu railway station is currently being renovated. According to officials, this railway link project was completed last month. Train trials have been successfully conducted on the Katra-Baramulla route. The Railway Safety Commissioner (CRS) approved the train service between Katra and Kashmir in January this year.

Travel time will be reduced

Officials say that the launch of Vande Bharat Express will reduce the travel time between Jammu and Srinagar significantly and will provide a modern and efficient rail service to the region. There was a demand for a direct rail service to Kashmir for many decades, which will be fulfilled with the launch of this train. Currently, train service is available only from Sangaldan to Baramulla in the Kashmir Valley, while trains run from Katra to other parts of the country.

The ambitious project to connect Kashmir by rail was started in 1997

, but it was delayed several times due to geography, climate and geographical challenges. The project has a total of 38 tunnels, with a length of 119 km. These include India’s longest transport tunnel, the 12.75 km long Tunnel T-49.

Apart from this, 927 bridges have been built, whose total length is 13 km. The most special among these is the Chenab Bridge, which is 1,315 meters long and its arch span is 467 meters. This bridge is 359 meters high from the river bed, that is, 35 meters higher than the Eiffel Tower. It is the world’s highest arch railway bridge.

Srinagar Vande Bharat is very special.

According to the Railway Ministry, the Vande Bharat Express running in Kashmir will be different from the Vande Bharat trains running in other parts of the country. It has been designed to run smoothly in temperatures up to -20 degrees Celsius. Advanced heating systems have been installed in the train for the convenience of passengers and drivers. According to the Railway Ministry, the Jammu-Srinagar Vande Bharat train has been specially designed for extremely cold areas. On this route, a snow-clearing train will run before passenger and goods trains, so that this rail route can remain operational throughout the year, day and night. This train will ensure uninterrupted rail service between Jammu and Kashmir in all seasons.

Children are being harmed by social media

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese justified this decision during the news conference and said that social media platforms are having a negative impact on children. He also said that the time has come for the government to take strict action on this issue, so that children can be protected from mental and physical harm. He believes that spending excessive time on social media is increasing lack of self-worth, anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems in children. Albany emphasized that this law to prevent the use of social media for children under the age of 16 will be introduced in Parliament this year and after its passage, it will be implemented within 12 months. He also clarified that even those children who want to use social media with the consent of their parents will not be allowed.

Responsibility of social media platforms

According to this decision, it will be the responsibility of social media companies to take appropriate steps to prevent children from accessing their services. Parents or children will not be given any responsibility to implement this rule. This means that social media companies will have to ensure that children under the age of 16 cannot login to their platforms and their data is kept safe. The Prime Minister said that social media companies should prepare in advance to prevent children from accessing social media, so that this law can be followed as soon as it comes into force. In this, the platforms will have to update their policies and technology, so that they can identify the age of children and ban them.

Which social media platforms will be banned?

This law will have the biggest impact on those social media platforms, which are very popular among children these days. These mainly include Meta’s platforms Facebook and Instagram, ByteDance’s TikTok, and Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter). Apart from this, Alphabet’s YouTube can also come in this list. Although the video content on YouTube is mostly for children 13 years and above, it can also be brought under scrutiny under this policy. So far there has been no official response from these companies on this decision, but it will be seen how they will follow this new policy.

Australia’s move and policies of other countries

Australia’s move has emerged as the strictest policy regarding social media use for children. Earlier, many other countries have also taken steps to keep a close eye on children’s social media use. For example:

– France proposed a ban on social media for people under the age of 15 last year.
– In the US, social media platforms have been instructed to seek parental permission for children under the age of 13, so that the data of children remains safe and a safe online environment can be ensured for them.

But, Australia’s move is the strictest, because here the use of social media for children will be completely banned. The government has decided that social media is hindering the mental and physical development of children, and now it needs to be controlled.

Impact on social and mental health

This move symbolizes the priority given to the mental health of children in Australia. Children spending excessive time on social media reduces their physical activities, which can increase obesity and other health problems. Apart from this, problems like sense of comparison, negative comments and cyberbullying on social media can affect children mentally. Therefore, the Australian government has decided that the use of social media is emerging as a major threat to children, and concrete steps will be taken to stop it.

This decision of Australia is an important step towards creating a safe and healthy environment for children. This step is a necessary initiative towards protecting children from the ill effects of social media, improving their mental health and motivating them to stay active in their real life. Although this may be a big change for social media companies and users, it is a step towards a healthy and safe online environment.
