Srinagar: The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) today expressed its strong appreciation for two transformative infrastructure projects: the Delhi-Srinagar rail connectivity and the Z-Morh tunnel, marking a new era in Kashmir’s accessibility.

In a statement to Ziraat Times, the Chamber extended its gratitude to both the Central Government and the J&K government for prioritising these crucial connectivity projects that will reshape the J&K’s transportation landscape.

The Delhi-Srinagar railway line addresses a long-standing challenge faced by the region, particularly during winter months when the Srinagar-Jammu Highway’s weather-related closures severely impact businesses and residents alike, it said. This rail connectivity will be a game-changer for the region’s economic stability and growth, providing year-round reliable transportation independent of weather conditions, KCCI observed.

The Chamber notes that the new rail link will also help to regulate airfares, which currently exceed costs of some international travel destinations. This development promises to enhance business connectivity with the rest of India while improving accessibility for both tourists and local residents.

Regarding the rail project, the Chamber has requested the government to consider devising an alternate mechanism for establishing direct connectivity to Delhi of the proposed De-boarding of passengers at Katra—going through fresh boarding at Katra to optimise travel efficiency as reported by a section of the media.

The KCC&I has requested the  Ashwini Vaishnaw, Union Railway Minister to consider our request for the direct train service from Delhi to Srinagar.

The KCCI also commends the inauguration of the Z-Morh tunnel which is scheduled to be inaugurated by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi on January 13, recognising its significant impact on promoting tourism in Sonamarg and improving accessibility to Leh. This development is expected to substantially enhance the region’s tourism potential and ensure year-round connectivity.

The Chamber said it remains committed to working with government authorities to further enhance Kashmir’s infrastructure and economic development, viewing these projects as crucial steps toward the region’s prosperity.
