Srinagar, Jun 5: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari has said that the inauguration of the Vande Bharat train service from Katra to Srinagar by Prime Minister Modi on Friday will be a historic moment, as it marks the realising of a long-cherished dream.
In a statement issued here, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said, “The Vande Bharat train service from Katra to Srinagar will not only reduce travel time by several hours, but also ensure all-weather connectivity for Kashmir with the rest of the country.
