CRS completes final safety inspection of Katra-Srinagar rail section
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.
Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS), Northern Circle, Dinesh Chand Deshwal completed the safety inspection of the Katra-Srinagar section of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) on Friday.
The inspection covered the rail corridor from Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra to Srinagar.
Deshwal expressed satisfaction with the construction quality and safety standards of the strategically important rail link.
The section is part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) in Jammu and Kashmir.
