CRS Approves Train Operations on Katra-Reasi Section

The Commissioner for Railway Safety (CRS) has authorised the operation of regular trains on the Katra-Reasi section of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla (USRBL) rail project in Jammu and Kashmir. Trains will be permitted to operate at speeds of up to 85 km/h on normal tracks and 15 km/h on loop lines, according to reports by Dipak Dash.

For security reasons, trains will only run during daylight hours between Jammu and Srinagar, with separate boarding arrangements for Srinagar-bound passengers at Katra, involving enhanced security checks. Non-stop trains from cities like Delhi to Srinagar will not operate initially, sources confirmed.

In its seven-page report, CRS highlighted several conditions that must be met before starting regular operations. Railway officials assured that all necessary protocols will be adhered to.

Though the exact date for the inaugural run is yet to be disclosed, sources suggest it could take place within the month.
