In the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir Northern Railway is all set to cross another milestone soon by starting Kashmir’s first electric train on the 137 km Banihal-Baramulla corridor as the electrification of the 324 crore rupees project is in its final stage.
Work on this project was going on since August 2019. Bittu Kumar, Engineer RS Infra Private Limited said that the project will be ready for inauguration by September as 90% of the electrification work has been completed.
With the commencement and electrification of this train, air pollution is expected to decrease manifold. Currently, 19 trains are in service with seven trains running regularly on Baramulla- Banihal sector in J&K.
Kashmir got its first train service in 2013 which was inaugurated by then Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh.
