Besides announcing the resumption of these trains from June, Jammu Railway Division has decided to add additional coaches to Train No. 12426 ( Jammu Tawi-New Delhi Rajdhani Express) and 04082 ( Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra-New Delhi Express) in view of the extra rush of passengers and rising waiting list during the summer holidays. Earlier, due to repairs on the railway bridge, only the Up side single railway track was operational. With both Up and Down side railway tracks fit, rail traffic will run smoothly and efficiently.
The interlocking work on this section will be completed on May 31st, and from June, train movement on both Up and Down lines will resume normally.
The major trains being restored from June, include; MCTM Udhampur SF Express, Durg SF Express, SMVDU Katra Express, Sabarmati Express, MCTM Udhampur Weekly SF Express, MCTM Kota Express, Indore Weekly SF Express, Jammu Tawi Garib Rath Express, Kothgodam Garib Rath Express, SMVD Katra Weekly Express, MCTM Udhampur Janmabhoomi Express, Bharnagar Terminus Janmabhoomi Express, Jammu Tawi Hamsafar Express and Tirupati Hamsafar Express.
The restoration of the track will not only ease movement for passengers travelling to Jammu, Katra, and Mata Vaishno Devi, but also facilitate freight transport, commercial activities, and military logistics.
