Those works are being attended to and they will start the train in April with the onset of the tourism season,\u201d the former chief minister said.<br \/>\nIn December last year, the Railway Ministry announced the completion of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL) project, the work that was started in 1997 to connect Kashmir with the rest of the country.<br \/>\nThe railway authorities conducted several trial runs on various sections including the Katra-Srinagar track besides the statutory inspection by Commissioner of Railway Safety, Northern Circle, Dinesh Chand Deshwal in the past one month, brightening the chances of early operationalization of the service.<br \/>\nAsked about the criticism of the government functioning allegedly by a Congress leader, Abdullah said the government knows what to do.<br \/>\n\u201cGovernment will function as it wants. Nobody can dictate terms to the government,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nResponding to the PDP remark that the NC government has changed the goal post from Article 370 to statehood, Abdullah said the rival party needs to go for self-introspection before making any allegations against his party.<br \/>\n\u201cTell them (PDP), they are the ones who are responsible for the revocation of Article 370. We have told Mufti Mohammad Sayeed (former chief minister and PDP founder) not to join the BJP for government formation. He went ahead, despite repeated requests by us, Congress and other parties,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nAsked when the statehood was restored to Jammu and Kashmir, he quipped \u201cWhen it is acceptable to the Almighty.\u201dOn return and rehabilitation of Kashmiri pandits who completed 35 years in exile on January 19, Abdullah said the BJP ruled J-K over the past 10 years and the question should have been posed to them how many migrant families they have rehabilitated during this period.<br \/>\nHe said the BJP has also promised 50,000 jobs to the unemployed youth but nobody will ask them how many jobs they provided in the past 10 years but will ask the National Conference which only came to power three months ago and has five years to fulfil all its promises including providing jobs to the youth.<br \/>\nAbdullah questioned the silence of the media over the alleged misuse of the central government by the BJP in the elections.<br \/>\n\u201cI want to advise the media to remove hatred from their reporting and try to work to spread love. If we continue to spread hatred, we cannot save the country,\u201d he said, urging the media in the country to go for self-introspection before asking questions to the opposition party leaders.<br \/>\nAsked about the involvement of a Bangladeshi national in the recent attack on Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan in Mumbai, Abdullah said he is against such things and wished him a speedy recovery.<br \/>\n\u201cMaharashtra is a rich state where everybody wants to go to earn a living. How many people from our state are earning their livelihood in Mumbai? It is the financial capital of India,\u201d he said, adding \u201cIf somebody has attacked him, you cannot blame an entire nation for one man\u2019s action.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYou remember what had happened in Canada and America and they put the blame on India. How can you blame a nation for one person\u2019s action\u2026(former Prime Minister) Indira Gandhi visioned SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) like the European Union with the aim that all countries in the neighbourhood work together for the betterment of their nations. We need a revival of this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26560\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26560\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-26560\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-22-at-6.57.08\u202fPM-300x149.png\" alt=\"Train To Kashmir Likely To Face A Few Months Delay: Farooq Abdullah\" width=\"300\" height=\"149\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26560\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Train To Kashmir Likely To Face A Few Months Delay: Farooq Abdullah<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JAMMU, Jan 22: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday said that the Katra-Sangaldan train service is likely to be delayed by a few months and will begin operations in April with the onset of the tourism season.
