Special Military Train Ferries Tanks, Artillery Guns to Kashmir
The Indian Army's use of USBRL for heavy equipment transport enhances rapid deployment and operational readiness in Kashmir, with 753 metric tonnes of winter supplies moved earlier, officials said.
- On Tuesday, the Indian Army used a Special Military Train to induct tanks, artillery guns, and engineering equipment into the Kashmir Valley, marking a major logistics breakthrough.
- In June this year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link, a 272-km rail line built at a cost of 43,780 crore that ensures all-weather connectivity to Kashmir.
- Rail-Based induction cuts deployment timelines and reduces reliance on road convoys, while in mid-September the Army ferried 753 metric tonnes of advance winter supplies to units in the Valley.
- Officials said the induction strengthens the Indian Army's operational flexibility and deterrence posture, marking a significant boost to mobility and operational readiness along the northern frontiers.
- The movement was carried out in close coordination with the Ministry of Railways, underscoring the USBRL's role in enabling rapid logistics build-up and reflecting joint planning and inter-agency coordination.
