Jammu, June 5 (UNI) Chairman of the Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC), Jammu, Rahul Sahai on Thursday hailed the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for inaugurating the much-awaited train service to Kashmir terming it a moment that marks a historic turning point in the development journey of Jammu and Kashmir.

“The completion of this long-pending railway line is nothing short of a civil engineering marvel. The dedication of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to connect the Kashmir Valley with the rest of India through rail is a testament to his unwavering commitment to national integration, inclusive development, and regional connectivity,” said Sahai.
He further added, “The Jammu-Kashmir train will be a game-changer for the regional economy. It will open up new avenues for trade, tourism, logistics, and industrial linkages.”
“Jammu will emerge as a critical economic hub — a gateway for goods, people, and ideas flowing into and out of the Kashmir Valley,” he said, adding that this connectivity will also boost local businesses, MSMEs, transporters, and the service sector, and create employment opportunities for the youth.
Sahai also expressed appreciation for the efforts of the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, stating, “We are grateful to LG Manoj Sinha for acting on our long-standing demand to start the train service from Jammu instead of Katra.”
This shows his responsiveness to the voices of industry and civil society in Jammu, he added, and further said, “It will not only benefit the business ecosystem but will also strengthen Jammu’s role as the logistical and economic nerve centre of the Union Territory.”
Sahai asserted that the ICC Jammu will work closely with stakeholders to maximize the economic potential unlocked by this project and ensure that the benefits reach every corner of the region.
