Sriangar, Feb 14 : Congratulating Indian Railways and Civil Aviation for initiating rail service between north and south Kashmir and starting international flights from Srinagar airport, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said this bound to catalyse the economic growth of the valley.
In a message, which was read out by Union Minister of State in Prime Minister's office Prithviraj Chavan here this afternoon, Dr Singh said he was happy to know that the Airports Authority of India had completed the New Integrated Terminal Building at Srinagar International Airport and Air India would begin operating its first international flight from Srinagar.
''I am also delighted to learn that the India Railways have met the challenge of connecting Anantnag to Baramulla by rail. This is bound to catalyse economic growth in the Kashmir valley, with the availability of cheaper and more reliable transport.
I congratulate the Indian Railways on this achievement.
The prosperity of Jammu and Kashmir and its development is very important to us. Infrastructure is crucial for such development.
These two projects, being inaugurated by UPA chairperson Sonia Gandi will go a long way in integrating Jammu and Kashmir with the country and the world, thus facilitating its economic progress.
I offer my felicitations to the people of Jammu and Kashmir on this occasion and wish them all the best,'' the message said. |
