Jammu-Katra Special Trains: Railways Begins Service From THESE Cities; Here's Time, Route, Other Details

Jammu-Katra Special Trains: Indian Railways announced the operation of special trains from other cities of India to Jammu-Katra for the Vaishno Devi pilgrimage. The development has come after a lack of confirmed tickets on the train. No significant decline in the number of pilgrims to the Vaishno Devi temple has been observed after the Pahalgam terror attack. 

Following the recent terrorist attack, concerns arose about a potential decline in passenger traffic to Jammu and Kashmir. Although there has been a slight decrease, most trains remain fully booked, with confirmed tickets becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.

To address this issue, the railway has introduced a special train from New Delhi to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra, set to depart from Friday. Additionally, special trains have been announced on the Katra-Guwahati and Jammu Tawi-Banaras routes.
