Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday virtually flagged off the second Vande Bharat train between Jammu and Kashmir’s Katra and New Delhi, with LG Manoj Sinha expressing hopes of a railway link between Kashmir and Kanyakumari early next year.
Union minister Jitendra Singh, who attended the ceremony in Katra, congratulated the people of the Union territory on the New Year’s gift of a second Vande Bharat train and said this was possible because of Modi’s commitment to work for the overall development of the region.
