Union minister Jitendra Singh said on Thursday the Vande Bharat Express train from Delhi to Katra will resume soon. Katra is the home to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi shrine.
“This should be a reassuring piece of information for pilgrims from across the country planning a visit to Holy shrine during Navratri festival,” the minister tweeted.
Singh discussed the issue with Piyush Goyal, the Minister of Railways.
Singh, the Minister of State for Personnel, is Lok Sabha member from Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur constituency.
Home Minister Amit Shah flagged off the Delhi-Katra Vande Bharat Express on October 3, last year. The semi-high speed train has reduced the travel time between the two cities to eight hours.
