1st trial train reaches Reasi in J&K via highest rail bridge

Indian Railways operated the first trial train from Sangaldan to Reasi, including on the world’s highest rail bridge built on Chenab river in J&K, on Sunday. With this rail link, travel between the Valley and the rest of the country is set to become a reality in the next 4-5 months, officials said. Reasi was recently in the news because of a terror attack that claimed nine lives. The railways also achieved this feat days before PM Narendra Modi visits Srinagar to celebrate International Yoga Day.
