This action underscores the region's emphasis on safety amid escalating terror threats.

This massive event, orchestrated by the Railways Ministry on February 26, 2024, marked the inauguration of several infrastructure projects. Concurrently, political leaders, including J-K Assembly Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather and Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary, called for heightened vigilance and strategic revisions to counter recent terror attacks in the region.
