Vibrant India Volume- 1 Number- XVII Dr. Madhumita Srivastava Balaji Senior Research Associate, VIF 14 July 2017 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Integrating Jammu and Kashmir: The Banihal-Katra Rail Link Tunnel In what could be termed as an exemplary endeavour towards the building up of New India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gifted the nation the high-value Chenani-Nashri Tunnel in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Inaugurated on the 2nd of April 2017, the venture has been regarded as an extremely important and well thought of connectivity of Kashmir with the rest of the country. It was the Jammu-Udhampur-Katra-Qazigund-Baramulla railway operation began earlier which set the ball rolling. Background of the Banihal-Katra Rail Link With a view to provide an alternative and a reliable transportation system to Jammu and Kashmir (J & K), the Government of India planned a 345 km long rail link joining the Kashmir Valley with the Indian Railway Network. Declared as a Project of national importance in March, 2002, the Jammu Udhampur- Katra-Quazikund-Baramulla railway line may be regarded as an altrusitic project in the construction of a mountain railways. The project is likely to be completed by 2020. Despite difficult terrain and the uncertain geology, work on the sector is progressing satisfactorily and 35 km out of 95 km of tunneling has been reportedly completed. Till recently, trains in Kashmir moved only from Baramulla to Banihal via Budgam-Srinagar-Anantnag and Qazigund. Now through this cherished and sustained rail connectivity, trains can also ply from Katra. The prized network will not only help the people of the Valley in increasing their facility to travel but also assist in meeting contingencies.
