Two new platforms will be constructed at Katra railway station for Vaishno Devi devotees, an India. com report said. Katra is the railhead town for pilgrims visiting the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu and Kashmir.
Train passengers from Bengaluru and across India pass through Katra to reach the shrine, so added station capacity affects how many pilgrims can travel by rail.
Watch for a Northern Railway notification with the construction start date, cost, and expected completion.
