Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 12-While complimenting the Indian Railways for extending railway line
connecting Anantnag with Baramulla within a record time of just one year, the Union
Minister for Water Resources and JKPCC Chief Prof Saif –ud-Din Soz, urged the
Railway Minister, to take urgent measures to connect Udhampur with Qazigund so that
Kashmir valley is brought on the tourist map of the country.
Prof Soz who met the Railway Minister Lalu Prasad at Union capital last evening
conveyed his sincere thanks for completing this prestigious project within a record period
of just one year involving a cost of Rs.100 crore.
Prof. Soz also gave credit to Railways for connecting Anantnag with Baramulla and
expressed the hope that work on Udhampur-Qazigund link would be expedited.
Lalu Prasad said that despite certain difficulties in respect of tunneling the Railways were
trying hard to complete this link.
The Railway Minister also responded positively to the suggestion Prof. Soz has been making in respect of the change of the name of the station near Srinagar from Rajwansher to Mazhama. Lalu Prasad assured Prof. Soz that instructions for the change have been issued and the same will be implemented soon.
Prof. Soz has decided to release all the details of Rail Development in Kashmir in book form very soon, in public interest. He will particularly highlight the rebuttal, he had done to Nitish Kumar, the then Railway Minister who had made a statement in the Parliament that Railway Line to Kashmir would be completed by the year 2007. Prof. Soz had then asserted that the Railways Minister was making an incorrect statement.
