‘Big dream of India realised…’ Ashwini Vaishnaw on Katra-Srinagar Vande Bharat, Chenab Bridge

Katra (J&K), June 6, 2025 (ANI): The Vande Bharat Express is set to glide swiftly between Katra and Srinagar, cutting down travel time and setting a new benchmark in comfort for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. This development is more than just a new train service. It stands as a symbol of how far the region’s railway network has come over the last 11 years. On June 6, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Jammu and Kashmir to mark this progress. He will flag off new Vande Bharat trains and inaugurate two engineering marvels: the world’s highest railway bridge over the Chenab and India’s first cable stayed rail bridge at Anji. On this, Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that ‘It was a big dream’.
