Train to Kashmir: How the region’s first rail link with the rest of India will impact its key sectors

Live Mint  

Srinagar: The first-ever rail service connecting Srinagar with the rest of the country is set to launch this month, connecting India’s northernmost region like never before. Deepak Kumar, chief public relations officer of Northern Railway, the executing authority, toldMint that the new train service will not only offer a smooth travel experience for those visiting the Kashmir Valley but also provide breathtaking views. Rauf Tramboo, president of the Travel Agents Association of Kashmir, told Mint that the train service will give a fillip to the Valley's tourism industry. Kashmir-based economist Nisar Ali said that the introduction of the train service will have a huge impact on the horticulture sector, which employs 3.5 million people and contributes 9.5% of J&K’s GSDP. With the new train service set to open, they fear that it will be a double blow to the economy, as people from Kashmir will no longer need to travel to Jammu.
