PM Modi Hails First Freight Train to Kashmir Valley, Inauguration of Bengaluru Metro Yellow Line to Boost Connectivity and Growth

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday welcomed the arrival of the first freight train to the Kashmir Valley, calling it a historic moment for commerce and connectivity in the region. The development marks the integration of Jammu and Kashmir into India’s national freight network for the first time, a move expected to open new avenues for trade and economic activity.

Responding to a post on X by Union Minister for Railways, Communications and Electronics & IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw, PM Modi wrote, “Great day for commerce and connectivity in Jammu and Kashmir! It will enhance both progress and prosperity.” Officials say the new freight link will help local industries transport goods more efficiently, boost exports from the region, and reduce logistics costs. This milestone comes amid the government’s continued push for infrastructure growth in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370.

Alongside this achievement, PM Modi is set to inaugurate the Yellow Line of Namma Metro in Bengaluru on Sunday, 10th August. Spanning 19.15 km from RV Road to Bommasandra, the Yellow Line features 16 stations and has been built at a cost of ₹5,056.99 crore. The line is expected to significantly cut travel time between key areas and ease congestion along the city’s busiest corridors, especially benefitting commuters travelling to and from the Electronic City IT hub.

PM Modi will also flag off three new Vande Bharat Express trains from KSR Railway Station, aimed at further strengthening intercity rail connectivity. In addition, he will lay the foundation stone for Bengaluru Metro Phase-3, a major step towards expanding the city’s mass transit network.

“Look forward to being among the people of Bengaluru tomorrow, 10th August. From the KSR Railway Station, 3 Vande Bharat Express trains will be flagged off which will enhance connectivity. In a boost for Bengaluru’s urban infrastructure, Yellow Line of Bengaluru Metro will be inaugurated. The foundation stone of the Bengaluru Metro Phase-3 will be laid. Will also be addressing a public programme in the city,” PM Modi posted on X.

Urban transport experts believe the Yellow Line will be transformative for Bengaluru, reducing traffic bottlenecks and promoting sustainable commuting. With its direct link to the IT hub of Electronic City, thousands of tech employees will benefit from faster, cheaper, and more reliable transit.
