'Just few kilometres away from the place we are sitting right now in Reasi, lithium mineral was found in a huge quantity and I am sure whenever it will comes into use, this region will contribute and pave the way for achieving PM Modi's target of net-zero emission by 2070,' Dr Singh said addressing a huge gathering here at the Sports Stadium.

'This region (Reasi) has a lot of assets and contributes in fulfilling the dream of 'Viksit-Bharat',' said Dr Singh. Welcoming the PM Modi in the holy Katra town—the base camp of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Bhawan nestled in the Trikuta Hills, Dr Singh said, '11 years ago, PM Modi inaugurated the Katra Railway Station after becoming the Prime Minister in 2014 by the blessings of 'Mata Rani' as it was destined.' 'The Jammu railway station had witnessed its first train arrival in 1972,' Dr Singh said adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership transformed the vision into reality and perhaps it was destined that people of Jammu and Kashmir had to wait for over 50 years, until the start of PM Modi's leadership, to witness this historic moment. He recalled the initial steps taken during Modi's tenure, including a significant public event at Katra Railway Station in 2014. He further said that in the tenure of PM Modi, two Vande Bharat trains started operating between Delhi-Katra, it is in his term, Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Corridor started and it is in his term, civilian flights will operate from Udhampur airport. 'We witnessed that our forefathers never saw much transport in the hilly belts but these mountains now have a network of roads and rail tracks,' said the Union Minister. 'These are the same mountains that once heard bullets of terrorists and now have been replaced with train horns,' he added.
