Reasi new halt for Srinagar-Katra Vande Bharat Express

JAMMU: Srinagar-Katra Vande Bharat Express (26401-26402) stopped for the first time at the Reasi railway station on Wednesday. Uchit Singhal, SDCM of Northern Railway (Jammu Division), said the train has a halt of 2 minutes at Reasi in both directions. “Until now, the semi-high-speed train only had a single stop between Katra and Srinagar, at Banihal,” he said.

“The decision was taken to cater to the growing number of passengers from Reasi district, which attracts thousands of devotees visiting the Vaishno Devi shrine and tourists coming to see Chenab Bridge — world’s highest railway bridge.
