Jammu-Srinagar Vande Bharat Express JAMMU: Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw Thursday flagged off a 20-coach Vande Bharat Express between Jammu and Srinagar, marking the first direct rail link between the two cities. PM Narendra Modi had inaugurated the broader Katra–Kashmir service last year. Regular operations will begin May 2, with two pairs of trains running six days a week.The train will stop at Jammu Tawi, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra, Banihal, and Srinagar, covering 267km in about five hours—significantly faster than the usual eight to nine hours by road. With expanded capacity from 8 to 20 coaches, each train can carry around 1,400 passengers, improving accessibility and convenience.J&K CM Omar Abdullah described the project as “transformative,” noting its impact on connectivity, industry, and long-standing public aspirations. He highlighted that the rail link would enhance both passenger travel and freight movement, including cement, food supplies, vehicles, and local produce.Vaishnaw emphasised the train’s ability to operate in extreme conditions, including temperatures as low as -10°C and heavy snowfall, thanks to advanced design and passenger-friendly features. He also outlined future plans to expand rail connectivity to the Poonch-Rajouri region and extend the line to Uri, with projects currently in planning stages.Additional infrastructure upgrades, including line doubling and capacity enhancements, are underway. The redevelopment of Jammu Tawi station is progressing, while doubling of the Jalandhar–Jammu section is complete, and work continues on the Qazigund–Baramulla stretch.These initiatives aim to reduce reliance on weather-prone road transport, boost investment, create jobs, and strengthen economic integration in the region.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosChanakya Today Exit Poll: BJP Sweep In Bengal, DMK Ahead In TN, Assam Favours NDAUS Hands Back 657 Stolen Antiquities Worth  Million To India, Exposes Global Smuggling NetworksNaval Anti-ship Missile : Navy, Drdo Demonstrate Salvo Launch That Can Sink ShipsECI Introduces New QR Code Photo ID Rule To Prevent Unauthorised Entry At Counting CentresCCTV Shows Car Plunging Into Gorge In Una, Himachal | Tyre Burst Suspected, 2 KilledDelhi HC Freezes Sunjay Kapur Assets, Restrains Priya Kapur In High-Stakes Inheritance DisputeLet’s Not Choose For People: Supreme Court Pulls Up Centre Over Minor Rape Survivor’s Pregnancy Case’Sonia Gandhi Takes Decisions’: Congress President Kharge On Karnataka CM Change BuzzHafiz Saeed’s Aides Hunted Down: Lashkar-e-Taiba Loses Commanders to Mysterious KillingsRecord Bengal Turnout at 92.9%, SIR Row and Voter Surge Complicate Poll Reading123PhotostoriesFrom opening up about his troubled childhood and growing up in a violent home to facing bullying at school; Sidharth Bhardwaj recalls his traumatic pastThis Indian street food is crowned Prayagraj’s official signature dish8 South Indian dishes among the Top 100 Pancakes in the WorldTV serials with strong woman leads, ‘Naamkaran’, ‘Neema Denzongpa and others- check the list hereHow to make Rajasthani Gatte Ka Pulao for summer dinner5 most crowded national parks in the USA; what travellers should knowGokuldham society’s plot twists that no one saw coming: From Tapu going bald to Babu Ji going to jailAishwarya Rai Bachchan to Deepika Padukone: The real price of Bollywood’s most expensive sarees explainedDo you do eye makeup daily?

Photo credit: ANI NEW DELHI: India and Canada have agreed to formulate a “shared work plan” to guide cooperation on national security and law enforcement issues with a larger plan to have practical collaboration to address mutual concerns such as transnational criminal networks.The decision was taken at a meeting between National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and his Canadian counterpart Nathalie Drouin in Ottawa on Saturday. India Can Wait Out Trump: Ajit Doval Warned Marco Rubio Against Bullying On Trade Deal, Says Report The move is seen as part of efforts by the two sides to normalise their relations that came under severe strain following a diplomatic row over the killing of a Khalistani separatist in 2023.NSA Doval’s visit to Ottawa came as the two sides are making preparations for a likely trip to India early next month by Canadian prime minister Mark Carney.The ministry of external affairs (MEA), sharing details of the Doval-Drouin meeting, said on Sunday that the two sides acknowledged the progress on initiatives aimed at supporting the safety and security of their countries and citizens.”They agreed to a shared work plan to guide bilateral cooperation on national security and law enforcement issues and to enable practical collaboration on respective priorities,” it said.”During the meeting, it was agreed that each country would establish security and law-enforcement liaison officers and that their respective agencies would build on working relationships,” the MEA said in a statement.It said this “important step” will help streamline bilateral communications and enable timely information sharing on issues of “mutual concern” such as the “illegal flow of drugs, particularly fentanyl precursors, and transnational organized criminal networks”.”They also committed to formalising cooperation on cybersecurity policy and information sharing on cybersecurity issues, as well as continuing discussions on cooperation related to fraud and immigration enforcement, consistent with domestic laws and international obligations,” it said.NSA Doval also had a meeting with Canada’s Minister for Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree on Friday.The India-Canada relations hit rock bottom following then prime minister Justin Trudeau’s allegations in 2023 of a potential Indian link to the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.India had dismissed Trudeau’s accusation as “absurd”.In October 2024, India recalled its high commissioner and five other diplomats after Ottawa attempted to link them to the Nijjar case. India also expelled an equal number of Canadian diplomats.However, Liberal Party leader Carney’s victory in the parliamentary election in April last year helped in beginning the process to reset relations.Both sides have already posted their high commissioners in each other’s capitals.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Few Political Elements Trying To Distort’: Goyal Explains India-US Trade Deal, Slams Opposition‘India Has A Preference Over…’: Piyush Goyal On US Trade Deal, Trump’s ‘Russian Oil’ Claim‘Embarrassed Himself’: Gaurav Gogoi Slams Assam CM Himanta Sarma Over ‘Pakistan Links’ Allegation‘1.25 Crore Hindus In Bangladesh’: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Issues Big Unity CallUkraine to Gaza: Malaysia PM Anwar Ibrahim hails PM Modi’s unwavering global peace pushGogoi’s wife Elizabeth worked for Pakistani agent Ali Tauqeer Sheikh: Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma‘India’s Stand on Terrorism Is Clear’: PM Modi Speaks Firmly During Malaysia Visit”Strategic Ties And Trade Strengthened”: PM Modi Exchanges MoUs With Malaysian PM’Reasons For Reducing Russian Oil Imports Are…’ Foreign Expert Explains India-US Trade FrameworkIndia Reiterates Energy Security Priority, Signals Russia Oil Imports Will Continue123Photostories5 Vastu-approved plants you should bring home today for prosperity7 brutal truths about starting a business no one warns you about5 effective ways to keep spiders away from your home and garden (third is a magical remedy!)Top 6 cheapest destinations to travel in India in 2026The one-sided friendship problem: Why so many adult friendships feel draining now8 types of kadhi from across India to try for lunchScarlett Johansson net worth: Inside the USD 165 million fortune of Marvel’s ‘Black Widow’ starFrom Bad Bunny, Green Day to Charlie Puth: Full list of Super Bowl 60 performersFrom a massive living room to lavish bedrooms: A look at Samay Raina’s luxurious housePM Narendra Modi’s Panch Prana goal and the role of Shatavari and it’s importance in traditional Indian kitchens123Hot PicksBudget 2026Gold Silver PricesParliament Budget SessionGCC Unified Visa 2026Income Tax CalculatorPublic holidays February 2026Bank Holidays februaryTop TrendingFortnite Love EventBoston Celtics vs New York KnicksLindsey Vonn InjurySuper Bowl LX TicketSuper Bowl PredictionsJustin GaethjeLIV GolfLiam Paro vs Paddy Donovan Net WorthWinter Olympics 2026NBA Trade Update
