Sir,
This has reference to the news item ‘Centre yet to fix timeframe for creation of separate Railway Division for in Jammu’ DE July 29.
The creation of separate Railway Division is a long pending demand of Jammuites. But one does not know why this demand has been ignored by the previous UPA Government, and now by the NDA.
Creation of separate Division is not only going to benefit Jammu alone, but the Railway Department itself. Jammu is emerging a key Railway Centre after rail network is being expanded from Katra to Kashmir. The Railway Minister Sadananda Gowda must look at the case afresh and start working modalities for a separate division. Hope, the Jammuites are not let down by new dispensation at the Centre.
Yours etc…
