Rail, Tourism, Investments Reshape Jammu and Kashmir Seven Years Post-370

For the first time, trains can now travel from the rest of India all the way into Kashmir.

A very long and difficult railway was finished in June 2025, and it includes famous bridges built high over rivers.

Many more people are visiting Kashmir now, and 2024 was the best year ever for tourism there.

The government is also building roads and tunnels so people can travel even when it snows.

One big tunnel, the Zojila Tunnel, had its main part dug out in June 2026 and will connect Jammu and Kashmir with Ladakh all year round.

Because of all this, businesses are growing and new jobs are being created.

The government says the area is earning more money and becoming more connected to the rest of India.

Seven years ago, the special status called Article 370 was removed, and since then the focus has been on building, growing and connecting this region.
