Indian Railways has achieved a major milestone by conducting successful trial runs on the Katra-Reasi section of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link project. This achievement highlights progress in regional connectivity development. The Katra-Reasi section spans approximately 18 kilometers and represents a significant step forward for Indian Railways’ infrastructure improvement plans. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, this segment includes tunnels, bridges, and advanced signaling systems designed to ensure reliability and safety.
Authorities confirmed that technical trials focused on evaluating track stability, ventilation systems, and train controls. These measures aim to prepare the section for passenger and freight operations, promising reduced travel times and efficient transport. The katra-Reasi section will greatly reduce travel time for commuters and improve efficiencies for freight transport. This new transportation link will not only enhance connectivity but also offer a reliable and environmentally friendly option for moving passengers and goods across the region.
The Prime Minister plans to inaugurate operations in January, though the exact date remains unconfirmed. Authorities anticipate that the section’s completion will stimulate economic growth and improve trade connections within the region.
