Jalandhar (Punjab) , July 17 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of rail and road infrastructure projects worth over Rs 5,470 crore in Jalandhar. He inaugurated 75 redeveloped railway stations, including Jalandhar Cantt, under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. The inauguration of 75 Amrit Stations across 20 states marks another significant milestone under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, one of the world's largest station redevelopment programmes. Developed at a cost of about Rs 1,570 crore, these stations have been transformed into modern, passenger-friendly facilities. Redeveloped in the spirit of 'Virasat Bhi, Vikas Bhi', the stations incorporate elements reflecting local culture, heritage and architecture. Prime Minister also inaugurated the Daulatpur Chowk-Kartoli new rail line, constructed at a cost of about Rs 830 crore as part of the Nangal Dam-Talwara-Mukerian New Rail Line Project. It will significantly strengthen rail connectivity between Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, benefiting the districts of Hoshiarpur and Una. The new rail line will provide connectivity to important religious destinations such as Shri Anandpur Sahib and Maa Chintpurni Temple, while enhancing access to remote areas by providing passengers with a faster, safer and more reliable mode of transportation. Prime Minister also flagged off the Kartoli-Ambala train service, which will improve connectivity across Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. He also flagged off the Amritsar (Chheharta)-Varanasi train service, establishing a direct rail link between two of India's most revered spiritual and cultural centres. Further strengthening road infrastructure in the State, Prime Minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of National Highway projects worth over RS 3,070 crore. Prime Minister inaugurated the 30.9-km-long Package-6 of the four-lane greenfield Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway. The section will facilitate easier and faster travel, particularly for heavy vehicles, while reducing fuel consumption and vehicle operating costs. He also laid the foundation stone for the development of the 25.2-km-long six-lane greenfield Southern Ludhiana Bypass. The project will reduce travel distance and time between Ludhiana and Bathinda, while also improving connectivity to other major economic centres. (ANI)

Hydrogen-powered train successful example of Make in India campaign: PM Modi
Haryana, Jul 17: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday flagged off India's first hydrogen-powered train connecting Jind to Sonipat in Haryana from here, calling it a successful example of the 'Make in India' campaign. With this, India has joined a select group of countries that have operational hydrogen-powered trains and marks an important step towards the adoption of clean and sustainable mobility in the railway sector. The 89-km distance between Jind and Sonipat will be covered in two hours, with the train halting at 12 intermediate stations. After flagging off the train, the prime minister also dedicated to the nation and laid foundation stone of various development projects worth Rs 14,700 crore. Addressing a public gathering later, Modi called the hydrogen-powered train a successful example of the 'Make In India' campaign. Today, Indian Railways has taken a major step and this hydrogen train from Jind to Sonipat is the world's most powerful train, he asserted. Referring to the West Asia conflict, Modi said India receives huge quantity of petrol, diesel, LPG gas, and fertilizers through the Strait of Hormuz. However, for the last three to four months, this path has continuously become a battlefield, he said. Despite the war and oil crisis, India's railways and the country's development vehicle has not stalled, he said. If this situation had arisen before 2014, the work of India's railways would have come to a complete standstill, he asserted. Modi also said that his visit to Jind has opened a window to old memories. I cannot forget the love I have got, he said. Jind's 'ghee' and 'ghevar' have not changed in years but its 'tevar' (attitude) has, he said, while adding Jind is becoming a model of BJP's good governance. Names of Jind, Sonipat and Haryana will come up whenever there is mention of hydrogen train, I congratulate the entire country, he added. The train, styled in a striking sky-blue and white colour scheme, is powered by hydrogen fuel cell technology, which converts hydrogen into electricity to propel the train. The process produces only water vapour as a by-product, resulting in zero carbon emissions during operation. Compared to diesel trains, they eliminate tailpipe emissions, lower dependence on fossil fuels and fossil fuel imports, and operate with significantly less noise. Unlike conventional electric trains, they do not require continuous overhead electrification infrastructure, as electricity is generated onboard through hydrogen fuel cells, making them a clean and efficient solution. The use of green hydrogen also reduces dependence on electricity generated from fossil fuel-based thermal power plants, supporting India's transition to sustainable transport. India's hydrogen train features a 10-coach configuration, making it among the longest hydrogen-powered passenger trains developed so far. Its 3,200 HP propulsion system makes it one of the most powerful hydrogen-powered trainsets in operation A 1,200-kilowatt hydrogen-fuel-cell-propulsion system will power the 10-car trainset with a capacity of around 2,600 passengers, demonstrating the scalability of hydrogen-powered rail transport for high-capacity passenger operations.

Gulmarg faces mounting infrastructure challenges amid tourist surge
Gulmarg, Jul 12: While the world-famous tourist destination of Gulmarg continues to attract heavy tourist footfall, the hill resort is grappling with major challenges of solid waste management and traffic congestion. In an exclusive conversation with Greater Kashmir , Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Gulmarg Development Authority (GDA), Tariq Hussain said the premier tourist destination remained one of the countrys most sought-after attractions because of its nature-based tourism. There is no competitor to Gulmarg in the country, he said. He, however, said preserving its environment while accommodating rising visitor numbers was the GDAs top priority. Currently, we are facing two major challenges, including the disposal of solid waste and traffic movement. But we are working on a scientific solid waste management system and expanding parking infrastructure to ease congestion, he said. The CEO said Gulmargs parking capacity currently stands at around 1,000 vehicles, which often proves inadequate during the peak tourist season. The influx of visitors, particularly those arriving by private vehicles from neighbouring states such as Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Uttarakhand, has intensified pressure on local infrastructure, he said. Hussain said Gulmargs estimated daily carrying capacity was between 3,000 and 4,000 visitors. He, however, said tourist numbers frequently exceeded that limit during peak periods. But to reduce pressure on the main resort (Gulmarg Bowl), the government is promoting sister destinations around Gulmarg as well, he said. The CEO said Gulmargs tourism was entirely nature-based, except for the cable car. Balancing conservation with increasing tourist footfall is a challenging task, he said. He said tourism had remained resilient and continued to support the local economy. Although Gulmarg remains primarily a winter tourism destination, hotels, guest houses and homestays have recorded satisfactory bookings during the ongoing summer season, Hussain told Greater Kashmir . About future plans, the CEO said the GDA was planning to introduce several infrastructure projects aimed at improving the visitor experience while reducing environmental impact. The new projects include the construction of pedestrian walkways, a multi-level parking facility, fencing around the heritage golf course and the restoration of the historic Maharaja Palace. The CEO said the GDA was also exploring the introduction of electric vehicles, shuttle bus services and a designated green corridor where visitors could move on foot, reducing vehicular movement within the resort. He, however, acknowledged concerns over the condition of the existing infrastructure and said the GDA would prioritise its preservation alongside future development. Responding to concerns following the recent technical snag in the Gulmarg Gondola, he said maintenance protocols had been strengthened and professional teams were conducting regular inspections in line with carrying-capacity norms. On the future of tourism in Gulmarg, Hussain said the GDA was also considering expanding tourism beyond Gulmarg by promoting border tourism at Botapathri, subject to security clearance. He said the Botapathri area, located close to the Line of Control (LoC), had the potential to accommodate more than 1,000 day visitors and could eventually host border safari experiences showcasing the regions scenic landscape. He said Gulmarg was the only tourist destination located close to the LoC. Gulmarg is located 30-40 km from the LoC and that is one of the most critical points. But Botapathri has the potential and a carrying capacity of 1000 tourists per day, he told Greater Kashmir .
