JAMMU, Jan 7 (PTI): The Commissioner of Railway Safety (Northern Circle) Dinesh Chand Deshwal on Tuesday started a two-day statutory inspection of the recently completed railway line along the ambitious Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL) project, officials said.

Railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced the completion of the Reasi-Katra section last month, an important development which will connect Kashmir with the rest of the country after nearly three decades of stupendous work.

Deshwal’s visit comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated the Jammu Railway division from New Delhi, paving the way for efficient management of train services in the northernmost region of India.
