The long-awaited dream of connecting Kashmir with the rest of the country has finally come true. The Vande Bharat Express crossed the world’s highest Chenab Rail Bridge today and entered the Kashmir Valley. The train will cover the journey from Katra to Srinagar in approximately 3 to 3.25 hours.

This morning, the train departed from Katra and is expected to reach Budgam shortly. Earlier, it was stationed at platform number 1 of Jammu Tawi Railway Station before being officially flagged off from Katra.

Prime Minister is likely to inaugurate this train service in the first or second week of February. The Vande Bharat Express will operate regularly between Katra and Srinagar, enhancing connectivity and bringing Kashmir closer to the rest of India.
