The Northern Railway will soon initiate surveys to extend the railway line for 50 km from Baramulla to the border town of Uri – thus connecting the Line of Control (LoC) with the rail link. The train link to Uri would also help mobility and quick transportation of troops deployed at the LoC in Uri and other forward areas of north Kashmir. It has received an alignment approval report from the concerned agency for the 50 km long Baramulla to Uri train link. At present, the train plies for 135.5 km from Banihal to Baramulla in north Kashmir. Once the alignment approval report is approved the aerial, drone and ground survey of the Baramulla-Uri rail link will begin. The report has proposed setting up of over half a dozen railway stations on the new railway line from Baramulla to Uri which will pass through key locations like Baramulla, Sheeri, Gantmulla, Boniyar, Limber, Nougram, Lagama and Uri town. Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the rail network in Kashmir will be expanded up to the Chinese border.
