Rail link to Kashmir Valley to be launched tomorrow

[silent poison]

Kashmir's dream of an all-weather surface link will turn into a reality tomorrow when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi inaugurate the rail link between Banihal to Qazigund in the Valley.

Singh and Gandhi will jointly flag off the first train at around 11.50 AM on the 18-km-long section between Banihal in Jammu and Qazigund in Kashmir, marking the start of the rail service to the Valley.

Hope doesn't get blown up.

Will attract Kashmiri's wrath and will be stamped as enemy of development.

Cant wait to take a ride to Kashmir riding the rails. This is great news. Infrastructure has improved a great deal since the early 90's.
