In a landmark event, we are currently at the world's highest arched bridge, where the most remarkable feature is the upcoming operation of trains for the first time at such heights. The broad gauge has been laid here, and the work is complete as CRS inspection is underway. At this momentous occasion, we have with us a key figure deeply involved in this endeavor, Mr. Sandeep Gupta, CAO of USBRL. Let's hear directly from him.
"Sandeep, where does the project currently stand? When can we expect trains to run between Srinagar and Kanyakumari?"
"We have already commissioned 272 kilometers from Udhampur to Katra and from Udhampur to Baramulla, reducing 209 kilometers. After the inspection by CRS Sab, we will commission the next 46 kilometers. By then, 255 kilometers will be completed. There will be only one block section left, which is the last link between Katra and Reasi. All the work ahead has been completed; the track has been delivered, OHE work has been done, and the turn number one, now called T13, is 3.2 kilometers long. We faced some difficulties in that. The main boundary thrust, which was 500 meters long, we have successfully passed it. The heading work, which is done first, is divided into two parts. The first heading is three-quarters up, and one-third of the benching work is also done. Only 100 meters of benching work remains. After that, we make an invert below. There is no problem closing it. It is about 200 meters remaining, and all the 300 meters of lining remains, which is our complete attempt, and we are trying our best. It will be completed as soon as possible. Only when we bring the train to Katra, that is, connect Srinagar with the main land, and hope that it will be brought to Katra this year, in the next two months, I am completing this work, we are all teams. I am completing this work. This work is really difficult. There is no category in it because I have seen it from the ground up. If we talk about the selection bridge, the selection is about how much load is on the bridge and how much load it has. All the considerations were taken into consideration. There should be no failure plus, this is a big role for inspection and maintenance. Everyone has been in deep trouble, I am grateful that here you can understand that the icon of the bridge is definitely because there is an amazing infrastructure, talk about the days to come, then with this track fast speed train going directly to Srinagar One section has already been opened. Sangaldan, that is, from Banihal to Sangaldan, and the 46-kilometer section between Sangaldan and Reasi will soon be opened
