Speaking at a meeting of party functionaries held at Katra, Rattan Lal Gupta said that the completion of USBRL reflects the nation’s unwavering resolve to connect every corner of the country through world-class infrastructure. “This ambitious rail project is not just a triumph of engineering but a powerful symbol of unity, linking Kashmir Valley with the rest of the country through an all-weather lifeline,” he said.

 

Rattan Lal Gupta said the project was conceptualized and initiated during the tenure of Dr. Farooq Abdullah as Chief Minister, with the goal of connecting Kashmir with the rest of India through an all-weather, reliable rail network. He noted that this engineering marvel not only signifies a leap in infrastructure but also promises to boost tourism, economic activity, and regional integration.

 

The senior NC leader recalled that the foundation stone for the Jammu–Udhampur section was laid on April 14, 1983 by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, in the presence of Chief Minister Dr. Farooq Abdullah. The Udhampur–Katra section followed, with its foundation stone laid on March 15, 1997, by Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, while construction of the most challenging Katra–Banihal stretch began in 1997, again under the leadership of Dr. Farooq Abdullah.

 

 

Calling the upcoming event historic, Rattan Lal Gupta said inauguration by Prime Minister Shri Narendra  Bhai Modi in the presence of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of  the rail project should be celebrated with great pomp and pride, as it will give a huge fillip to tourism, trade, employment, and economic development, acting as a game-changer for the region.
