Kashmir’s rail link is changing travel & trade
The Chenab Rail Bridge and Anji Khad Bridge have become crucial engineering feats on the 272-kilometer Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL). This ambitious project has strengthened all-weather rail connectivity between Kashmir and the rest of India, while opening up new opportunities for transporting agricultural produce, essential supplies, and industrial goods.
The rail link is expected to facilitate the efficient movement of Kashmiri products like apples, cherries, dry fruits, and handicrafts to markets across the country. Simultaneously, it enables the transportation of essential commodities such as cement, automobiles, foodgrains, salt, fertilizers, and milk to the Valley through the railway network.
