February 23, 2024

The country’s longest transportation tunnel namely ‘T-50’ on Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) was dedicated by Prime Minister recently
T-50 is one of the most challenging tunnels on the Banihal-Khari-Sumber-Sangadal section of USBRL.
The tunnel is 77 km long.
At every 375 meters, a connecting passage between the escape tunnel and T-50 has been made so that the passengers can be brought to the escape tunnel and then, carried to their desired destinations in vehicles.
Also the first electrified trains of the Kashmir valley were flagged off.
Two electrified trains simultaneously, one from Srinagar to Sangaldan in the down direction and the other from Sangaldan to Srinagar in the up direction started service.
