The inauguration of Kashmir's rail service marks a turning point in the region's connectivity, according to former 'Sadr-e-Riyasat' Karan Singh.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Vande Bharat trains linking Katra to Srinagar, marking the completion of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link. This development aims to boost tourism and commerce in Jammu and Kashmir.
