Sir,
Finally the wait is over. The people from Katra and vicinity must be quite relaxed after train to Katra was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India. The train is not merely going to benefit lakhs of Vaishnodevi yatris who come from far flung areas of the country but the local people as well. The train will change the socio-economic outlook of the people living here. Many people would find job opportunities.
However, it is requested to the local authorities to keep the town clean. The town as it exists new presents an ugly picture of garbage dumps and chocked drains. The bus stand remains quite congested. There is great scope for improving the sanitary conditions in the town. Besides, it is urged to the authorities to constitute special squads who would keep a vigil on market. In the past, it was reported that some unscrupulous shopkeepers have been cheating the innocent yatris by charging them high rates. These elements bring disrepute to this holy town.
Yours etc…
