I do not know if there is any other railway station in the country where four Vande Bharat trains stop,\u201d Singh told reporters on board the newly-launched train.<br \/>\nHe congratulated the people of Jammu for the new train and said when Modi took over as the prime minister in 2014, the railway project to connect Kashmir with the rest of the country was almost abandoned.<br \/>\n\u201cModi\u2019s election campaign in 2014 started by paying obeisance at the Vaishno Devi shrine. After getting elected, he dedicated the Katra railway station to the nation and when Vande Bharat trains were introduced in the country, the second train was sanctioned for the Katra-Delhi section. In the second phase of the Vande Bharat rollout, another train was gifted to Jammu and Kashmir,\u201d the Union minister said.<br \/>\nHe said the prime minister visited Katra in June to flag off two Vande Bharat trains from Katra to Srinagar, marking the completion of the decades-old national railway project to connect Kashmir with Kanyakumari. The trains will later run between Srinagar and Jammu.<br \/>\n\u201cThe Vaishno Devi shrine is witness to all this in the last 11 years. The first train reached Jammu and Kashmir in 1972 and it took more than 50 years to connect Kashmir by train.<br \/>\nThe LG thanked the prime minister for the Vande Bharat train between Amritsar and Katra.<br \/>\n\u201cGrateful to PM Narendra Modi for flagging off Vande Bharat Train between Amritsar to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra Station. J&amp;K\u2019s transport infrastructure, particularly in railways, has witnessed unprecedented growth under the leadership of PM. New Vande Bharat Train will ensure ease of travel for devotees of Mata Vaishno Devi and spur the growth momentum of the local economy,\u201d he said in a post on X.<br \/>\nReferring to the first freight train reaching the Anantnag station in south Kashmir from Punjab on Saturday, Sinha said it marks a significant milestone in the Kashmir valley\u2019s transport infrastructure and trade.<br \/>\nAddressing the gathering before the flag-off ceremony at the Katra railway station, Deputy Chief Minister Choudhary lauded Modi for making the dream of railway connectivity between Kashmir and the rest of the country a reality.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are lucky to witness the dreams that our elders saw getting fulfilled under the leadership of Modi. Our prime minister and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah flagged off the first train from Katra to Kashmir (on June 6) \u2014 a historic moment as many were of the opinion that the train could never reach Kashmir, which was infamous for terror activities. But the region has witnessed fast development,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nHe welcomed the launch of the new Vande Bharat train service between Katra and Amritsar and said it is a proud moment for people as the train is going to connect two revered shrines \u2014 the Vaishno Devi temple and the Golden Temple in Amritsar.<br \/>\n\u201cI am thankful to the prime minister and the railway minister (Ashwini Vaishnaw) for laying a railway network, which will help in employment generation and boost tourism,\u201d Choudhary said, requesting for extending the network to cover Rajouri and Poonch districts.<br \/>\nHe also praised Singh for his efforts in getting various public-centric projects sanctioned for Jammu and Kashmir while sitting in the Prime Minister\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<figure
