Festive cheer in Katra, the base city for Vaishno Devi shrine, ahead of inauguration ceremony
Festive cheer filled Katra, the base city for the revered Mata Vaishno Devi shrine, ahead of a grand railway inauguration ceremony to be led by Prime Minister Modi on Friday, marking a new era of connectivity for Kashmir and the country.
The PM will flag off two new Kashmir-specific, specially designed Vande Bharat trains and inaugurate two engineering marvels: the Chenab Bridge (the world's highest railway bridge, taller than the Eiffel Tower) and the Anji Bridge, India's first cable-stayed rail bridge. "We are fortunate to witness a new rise in rail services which were earlier not even being thought out by us," said Nadeem, a young taxi driver, adding, "Development doesn't disseminate on caste or religion."
