How India is building the most difficult network of Tunnels in Kashmir Mountains?

When Maharaja Pratap Singh of Kashmir first explored the possibility of a railway line connecting Jammu with Srinagar in 1898, he could never have thought it will take more than 120 years to build his vision into a reality for the paradise on earth - Kashmir. In 1905, Maharaja Pratap Singh approved a rail line between Jammu and Srinagar via Reasi through Moghul road.

78 years later the Prime Minister of Free India kicked off the line from Jammu Tawi to Udhampur in 1983. But the line from Katra to Qazigund through the mountains of Sedimentary Rocks still looked unattainable.

July 2002: The Central Government declared the line a National Project. This meant that it would be constructed and completed irrespective of cost funded entirely by the Central Government would fund the entire project.

The Kashmir Railway project is thus divided into four sections:

Leg 0 - extending 53 km (33 mi) from Jammu to Udhampur, completed in April 2005.
Leg 1 - extending 25 km (16 mi) from Udhampur to Katra. This section inaugurated on 4 July 2014 by PM Shri Narendra Modi. There are two Express trains planned initially - Delhi-Katra and Kalka-Katra.
Leg 2 - extending 148 km (92 mi) from Katra to Banihal. Under construction, may open in 2020 – this is where our Story happens.
Leg 3 - extending 112 km (70 mi) from Banihal to Baramulla, completed in October 2009.

The 290 km-long Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) is being constructed by Indian Railways as National Project in the State of Jammu & Kashmir. The Railway Board of the Government of India has entrusted the construction of Katra-Dharam Section (72.91 km-long) of USBRL project to Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd. (KRCL) through Northern Railway.

This film is developed for the 5 Tunnels - T6, T9, T10, T11 and T12 in the Kauri-Dugga section (part of Katra-Dharam Section) to showcase how the engineering marvel is being built by ITD Cementation for the Konkan Railways. This film is a property of our client ITD Cementation India Ltd and we have presented it here only to showcase our capability to make such films.
