Cargo Train Service from Kashmir to Delhi to Boost Local Economy
The recent launch of a cargo parcel train from Jammu and Kashmir to Delhi, flagged off by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, aims to enhance local economic growth by facilitating the transport of perishable goods, particularly apples, at lower costs. Simultaneously, the Indian Army successfully utilized a freight train to deliver winter supplies to Anantnag, marking a significant milestone in operational preparedness and showcasing a dual-use logistics model that benefits both military and civilian sectors. This initiative not only strengthens connectivity but also mitigates farmer distress caused by adverse weather, ensuring economic upliftment and livelihood security in the region.
