Sher-E-Punjab T20: Naman, Prabhsimran Hit Tons As Warriors Beat Soormas In Run-fest

Punjab T20 League: Jalandhar Warriors produced a stunning eight-wicket win over Amritsar Soormas after successfully chasing down a mammoth target of 265 in the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League 2026 at the I.S. Bindra Stadium, Mohali, on Tuesday. It was a memorable run-fest, with more than 500 runs scored in the match. The spectators were treated to some outstanding batting as Naman Dhir and Prabhsimran Singh both scored brilliant centuries, while three other batters also made important contributions. Amritsar Soormas, who have been in excellent batting form in the tournament, posted 264/5 in 20 overs, their highest total of the competition so far. Captain Abhishek Sharma once again led the way with a powerful knock, smashing 82 off just 36 balls. His innings included five fours and seven sixes, with three of his sixes coming in one over against Gurvinder Singh Bhullar. The Soormas made a flying start, scoring 79/1 in the first six overs. After Sahaj Dhawan was dismissed early, Abhishek joined Naman Dhir and the two immediately put the Warriors bowlers under pressure. The pair attacked from both ends and kept the boundaries coming. Their partnership helped Amritsar take control of the innings as they added 151 runs for the second wicket. Abhishek eventually fell after playing a superb attacking knock. Dhir, however, continued his assault. The right-hander brought up his century in just 52 balls, reaching the landmark with a huge six. He was especially aggressive against Abhinav Sharma, hitting him for four sixes in one over that went for 33 runs. Dhir eventually fell for a brilliant 117 off 56 balls, with seven fours and 10 sixes. Jashanpreet Singh also played a useful role as the Soormas maintained their scoring rate in the final overs and finished with a massive 264/5. Jalandhar Warriors needed a strong start to stay in the game, and their openers delivered exactly that. The Warriors raced to 103/1 in just six overs, with captain Prabhsimran Singh leading the attack. He brought up his fifty in only 16 balls, recording the fastest fifty of the tournament. Prabhsimran continued to attack the Amritsar bowlers and found good support from Harjas Tandon. The pair added 109 runs for the second wicket before Harjas was dismissed for a quick 42 off 21 balls. With the required run rate well under control, Prabhsimran continued his brilliant innings and reached his century in just 41 balls. He was then joined by Anmol Malhotra, who also played an aggressive knock and completed his fifty in only 19 deliveries. The duo finished the chase in style, taking Jalandhar Warriors to 265/2 in 17.5 overs and completing a remarkable eight-wicket victory with 13 balls to spare. With the required run rate well under control, Prabhsimran continued his brilliant innings and reached his century in just 41 balls. He was then joined by Anmol Malhotra, who also played an aggressive knock and completed his fifty in only 19 deliveries.

Jammu, Aug 7: Final Location Surveys (FLS) have been sanctioned for strategic 190-km Jammu-Reasi-Poonch new line and 78-km Jammu-Katra additional line for preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) to bolster rail connectivity in border and remote areas of Jammu and Kashmir. Besides, a Detailed Project Report (DPR) has been prepared in case of a 216-km third rail line between Jammu Tawi-Jalandhar cantonment. For both Jammu-Reasi-Poonch new line and Jammu-Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra additional line, field surveys have also been taken up after sanctioning of FLS for preparation of DPRs. This information was provided by the Union Minister for Railways; Information and Broadcasting and Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw, in a reply to a question of Bharatiya Janata Party MP Gulam Ali Khatana in Rajya Sabha on Friday, August 7, 2026. Vaishnaw said that after preparation of DPRs, the project would require consultation with various stake-holders including state or Union Territory (UT) governments and necessary approvals viz., appraisal of NITI Aayog, Ministry of Finance etc. As consultation with stake-holders is a continuous and dynamic process, exact timelines cannot be fixed, he asserted. Khatana sought to know if the central government had reviewed the implementation of railway projects and passenger services in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir during the last three years. With the district-wise details of railway lines, stations, bridges, tunnels, electrification, signalling, passenger amenities and train services sanctioned, completed and under execution, along with the funds allocated, released and utilised, Khatana had asked for the reasons for delays, if any; the corrective measures taken and the timelines fixed for completion of all pending railway projects, connectivity initiatives and the details of passenger and freight traffic generated. SAFETY OF PASSENGERS PARAMOUNT With regard to Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system, Vaishnaw has informed the House that indigenously developed ATP system Kavach works have been sanctioned for about 401 Rkm (Route kms) on four sections passing through J&K. These sections include KathuaJammu Tawi (76 RKm); Jammu TawiShri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra (78 RKm); Katra-Banihal (112Rkm) and BanihalBaramulla (135 RKm). Kavach is a highly technology intensive system, which requires safety certification of highest order (SIL-4). Kavach aids the Loco Pilot in running of trains within specified speed limits by automatic application of brakes in case the loco pilot fails to do so. Asserting that Indian Railway was continuously modernising current infrastructure of its signalling system, the Railway Minister said that electrical or electronic interlocking systems with centralised operation of points and signals, in place of old mechanical signalling, were provided at 11 stations in five districts i.e., Samba (1), Reasi (4), Ramban (3), Kathua (1) and Jammu (2) of Jammu and Kashmir during last 5 years, as on June 30, 2026. Complete track circuiting of stations to enhance safety by verification of track occupancy by electrical means has been provided at 11 stations in five districts (Samba-1, Reasi-4, Ramban-3, Kathua-1 and Jammu-2) of Jammu and Kashmir during last 5 years - up to June 30, 2026. Axle counters for automatic clearance of Block Section, BPAC (Block Proving Axle Counter) to ensure complete arrival of train without manual intervention before granting line clear to receive next train and to reduce human element, have also been provided at same 11 stations in five districts of Jammu & Kashmir during the last 5 years. GATI SHAKTI MULTIMODAL CARGO TERMINALS In order to encourage setting up of cargo terminals through private investment, one Gati Shakti Multimodal Cargo Terminal (GCT) has been commissioned in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir. In-Principle Approvals (IPAs) have been granted for the development of GCTs at 3 more locations of Jammu and Kashmir i.e., in Kathua, Anantnag and Jammu districts. SWIFT ELECTRIFICATION With regard to electrification of the railway network, the Railway Minister stated that in Jammu and Kashmir, the entire existing BG network was electrified. According to him, further, all new line and multi-tracking projects are being sanctioned and constructed with electrification. ROB, RUB SANCTIONED IN J&K As on date, 195 Road Over Bridges (ROBs) and Road Under Bridges (RUBs) exist in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Further, 2 ROB works have been sanctioned at a cost of approximately Rs 87 Cr in the Union Territory, which are at various stages of planning and execution. The Minister said that completion and commissioning of ROB and RUB works depended on various factors like cooperation of state or UT governments in giving consent for closure of LC, fixing of approach alignment, approval of General Arrangement Drawing (GAD), land acquisition, removal of encroachment, shifting of infringing utilities, statutory clearances from various authorities, law and order situation in the area of project and work sites, duration of working season in a year for the particular project or area due to climatic conditions etc. All these factors affect the completion time of the projects or works. Vaishnaw stated 14 ROBs and RUBs were constructed in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir during the period 2014-26, up to May, 2026. He asserted that the details of allocation, Revised Estimate (RE) and expenditure for ROB, RUB works Under Plan Head (PH)-30 are maintained zonal railway-wise and not state-wise or district-wise. Jammu and Kashmir is covered under the jurisdiction of Northern Railway. This zone has been allocated a total of Rs 763 Cr under PH-30 for the financial year i.e. 2026-27. The expenditure incurred under PH-30 by this zone during the year 2026-27, up to May, 2026) is Rs 229 Cr, he informed. Vaishnaw maintained that to provide connectivity of Kashmir valley to the rest of India, Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project (272 Km) was commissioned. The USBRL project covers the districts of Udhampur, Reasi, Ramban, Srinagar, Anantnag, Pulwama, Budgam and Baramulla of Jammu and Kashmir. Apart from providing rail connectivity, about 215 km (including a tunnel and 320 bridges) of roads have been constructed which are used by the local population. The entire rail project is electrified using an overhead conductor system in tunnels and in open stretches. After commissioning of the project, the travel time between Katra and Srinagar has been reduced to just about 3 hours. The USBRL project has made substantial socio-economic contributions to the region. The integration of the USBRL project with the railway network has facilitated transportation of raw materials and finished goods, supporting the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises in the region. Farmers and local businesses are now able to sell their signature Kashmir products such as apples, dry fruits, pashmina shawls and handicrafts beyond the region, providing access to larger markets and promoting economic diversity. Regarding train services, it was stated that Indian Railways (IR) recently introduced four pairs of Vande Bharat Express, which were catering to the needs of passengers of important stations like Jammu Tawi, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra and Badgam located within the jurisdiction of Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir. Further, it has been decided to introduce train service between Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra and Badgam viz. 14687/14688 Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra-Badgam Express. Apart from these, IR has also undertaken to extend the Durg-Jammu Tawi Express (4 trains), Indore-Jammu Tawi Express (two trains) up to MCTM Udhampur Railway Station. Accordingly, Jammu Tawi station is presently served by 114 train services while MCTM Udhampur station is served by 58 train services. Similarly, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra station is served by 46 train services, Srinagar is served by 16 train services and Budgam is served by 19 train services.

The names of stations identified for development under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme in Jammu and Kashmir are Budgam, Jammu Tawi, Martyr Captain Tushar Mahajan, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra. The activities for development at stations of Jammu and Kashmir have been taken up at a good pace.
