He stated that train number12413 was received at the newly built platform number 6 on Wednesday.
“Great enthusiasm was witnessed among passengers at the station on this occasion.

This will make train movement smoother, reduce halting time, and provide relief to passengers from overcrowding,” Singh maintained.
The opening of the new platforms, he said, would ensure better and enhanced facilities to passengers traveling to and from Jammu and Kashmir and would strengthen regional connectivity.
