Railway will come to Katra in March 2013. Millions of pilgrims to Mata Vaishno Devi shrine will find great relief in bypassing Jammu and the hassles commuting by road from Jammu to Katra. We hope that the impressive picture of Katra railway station given by the Divisional Manager of Northern Railways comes true to last word. Divisional Commissioner of Jammu has rightly issued instructions to ensure non-erection of illegal structures around the up-coming railway station in Katra. The administration should ensure clean and unpolluted environments of Katra railway station in view of enormous influx of pilgrims to the shrine throughout the year. Our apprehension is that greedy people will manage to grab the adjoining land and manoeuvre commercial establishments throwing to winds the requirement of keeping the environment clean and tidy. This link is a big step forward in strengthening the economy of the country through widespread connectivity.
