Untapped potential

Recently Prime Minister inaugurated the new Jammu Railway Division.

By linking key towns and regions, these projects promise to unlock the region’s untapped potential and boost local economies, the Lieutenant Governor further added.

In view of the rapid industrialization taking place in J&K and emergence of Jammu, Samba and Kathua as industrial hubs, the Lieutenant Governor emphasized that Indian Railways should explore possibilities for establishment of Railways’ Private Freight Terminal to facilitate the transportation of goods and products of traders and industries of these areas.

He lauded the efforts of every stakeholder and also recalled the contribution of Late Shri Devender Singh Rana for a new Jammu Railway Division.

He informed that the Z-morh tunnel will be inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister soon.

The creation of the Jammu Railway Division, with 742.1 KM comprising Pathankot – Jammu – Udhampur – Srinagar – Baramulla, Bhogpur Sirwal – Pathankot, Batala – Pathankot and Pathankot to Joginder Nagar sections, will significantly benefit Jammu and Kashmir and surrounding regions, fulfilling the long pending aspiration of the people and improving connectivity to other parts of India. It will create employment opportunities, infrastructure development, promote tourism and lead to overall socio-economic development of the region.
