New Delhi: Direct Rajdhani Express and other trains may start operating between New Delhi and Srinagar in the new year. The work of laying the railway track between Katra and Sangaldan has been completed. This project was being run in two phases, in which the CRS inspection of the track built between Reasi and Sangaldan has also been completed in the first phase.

In the second phase, the track has also been laid between Reasi and Katra. CRS inspection of this route is to be done on January 5. After the NOC of CRS, there is every possibility of starting the operation of trains on this route in the new year. With this, Srinagar and New Delhi will be connected by railway track and Rajdhani Express will also start running on this route.

Northern Railway’s Chief Public Relations Officer Himanshu Shekhar Upadhyay said that the track laying work on the 17 km route between Katra and Reasi has been completed. The Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) is inspecting on January 5. The CRS inspection may last for about two days. After that, the further program will be decided based on their report. If any deficiency is pointed out, it will have to be completed and after that it will be inspected again, then NOC will be given.

However, Upadhyay said that there is every possibility that trains may start running on this track at the beginning of the new year. In fact, in order to connect the capitals of states with the capital through trains, the work of the project to connect Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir, with New Delhi via railway track has been completed.

Right now flight is the only option for Srinagar

Trains are running from New Delhi to Katra. On the other hand, trains are running between Baramulla and Sangaldan. Now the work of both the rail projects between Sangaldan and Katra has been completed, on which when the trains start running, Baramulla and Srinagar will be directly connected to New Delhi. People will be able to go to Srinagar by train. Right now, the only better option for people to go to Srinagar is by plane, which is quite expensive.
