Delhi-Katra Vande Bharat train soon

New Delhi, October 8

Union minister Jitendra Singh on Thursday said the Vande Bharat train from Delhi to Katra, gateway to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi shrine, will resume soon.

He said the matter of resumption of train to Katra in Jammu and Kashmir ahead of Navratras was discussed with Railway Minister Piyush Goyal.

“Discussed with Railway Minister Sh @PiyushGoyal. #VandeBharatExpress train from Delhi to #KatraVaishnoDevi to resume soon. This should be a reassuring piece of information for pilgrims from across the country planning a visit to Holy shrine during #Navratri festival,” Jitendra Singh tweeted.

Jitendra Singh, the Minister of State for Personnel, is a Lok Sabha member from Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur constituency.

Train services in the country, which were halted in late March due to Covid lockdown, are being resumed in a graded manner. — PTI
