Kashmir is highly jubilant over train now connecting Kashmir to entire country.
Ajaz War, Senior Journalist opined -
"The inauguration of train services to Kashmir is a dream come true for entire country. Kashmir will get new lease of prosperity and direction as it would ensure swift movement of goods and passengers. The start of train is a great omen for progress of Jammu and practical realization of connecting Kashmir to entire country through train."
Abdul Ahad ,a commoner said -" After many centuries now the great dream of connecting Kashmir with rest of India through train is realized fully. We now would be able to commute at faster ,safer and affordable pace. The often closure of Jammu and Kashmir National Highway used to give lot of pain and was highly risky. The train from Kashmir to other parts of our great country is music to our ears."
