New Delhi, October 11

Union Minister Jitendra Singh today said the Delhi-Katra Vande Bharat Express would re-commence from October 15, a development that would come as a relief ahead of the Navratras, especially for pilgrims wanting to visit the Vaishno Devi shrine.

Singh said the decision was confirmed to him by Railway Minister Piyush Goyal during a discussion two days ago.

“As follow-up to discussion with Railway Minister Piyush Goyal two days back, the Ministry of Railways has announced resumption of Vande Bharat Express from New Delhi to Katra from October 15. A huge relief and exciting information for pilgrims on the eve of Navratras,” Singh posted on Twitter.

Singh, the Minister of State for Personnel, is a Lok Sabha member from Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur constituency. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
