“There is a 119-km tunnel in this 272-km section. This entire area is very important for Kashmir’s religious, tourism, and connectivity needs,” he added.
He further mentioned that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the USBRL project on April 19.”The Prime Minister is going to dedicate this entire project to the country, this will benefit the people of the country a lot. According to the planning so far, Prime Minister Modi will dedicate this project to the nation on April 19,” Mr. Kumar said.
He further pointed out that on the day of its inauguration, two Vande Bharat Express trains will begin service, one running from Srinagar and the other from Katra to Srinagar. “On the date of commencement of the project, we have planned to run two Vande Bharat Express trains. One Vande Bharat Express train will run from Srinagar, and the other will run from Katra to Srinagar,” the Railway Board Executive Director said.

The train will run through Anji Khad Bridge, India’s first cable-stayed railway bridge, and Chenab Bridge, which is the highest railway bridge in the world. This train has been designed for the cold climate conditions of the Kashmir valley.
