PM Modi to launch projects worth ₹30,500 crore in Jammu and Kashmir on February 20

All eyes in J&K are on the upcoming public rally in Jammu to be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 20. He is likely to inaugurate and announce projects worth ₹30,500 crore and formally kick off the party’s campaign for the Lok Sabha elections.

Mr. Modi will throw open the extra leg of the railway network in J&K by inaugurating the 48-km rail line between Banihal-Khari-Sumber-Sangaldan and the 185.6 km newly electrified Baramulla-Srinagar-Banihal-Sangaldan section. The Banihal-Sangaldan section will further bring the Kashmir valley closer to the railway network of north India. The country’s longest transportation tunnel of 12.77 km also lies in between the Khari-Sumber section.
