In a region called Jammu and Kashmir in India, workers have been building a very long train track through big mountains.

The track is called the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link.

A safety officer named Dinesh Chand Deshwal is in charge of checking that trains can run safely on it.

He recently traveled along the part of the track that goes from Katra to Srinagar.

This part of the track is very hard to build because the mountains are steep and the weather can be tough.

The officer looked at the tracks carefully to make sure everything was built well and safely.

He was happy with what he saw and said the track meets good safety standards.

This is important because the railway will make travel faster and easier for people in the region.
