Srinagar:
When Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi will flag off the train from Banihal in the Jammu region to Qazigund in the Kashmir valley tomorrow, not only will the century-old dream of rail connectivity be fulfilled partly, but it will also bring in more cheer to people of Kashmir who travel by train daily.The Railways is introducing four new trains in Kashmir which will chug between Banihal and Baramulla on a daily basis from June 27.“We will introduce four new trains between Banihal in Ramban district and Baramulla in north Kashmir from Thursday,” said a senior official of the Northern Railway. “The total number of trains which will operate here will now be 14. We are already running 10 trains,” he said.The official said the more number of trains would help them to cater to a heavy rush.“The four new trains have eight coaches and they will be able to meet the heavy rush,” he said. — TNS
