JAMMU: The Vande Bharat train rakes operating in Jammu and Kashmir have been specially designed to function in harsh winter and high-altitude conditions, Jammu Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Vivek Kumar said on Monday.
The Srinagar-Katra Vande Bharat service has gained much popularity in the region and witnesses high demand among passengers, he asserted.
Kumar said around 90 per cent of train services have resumed on the route following the devastation wrought by a spate of natural calamities in August last year, and plans are in place to restore important services, including Vande Bharat, by May this year after completion of track restoration work between Jammu and Pathankot.
