00:00In 2015, when the Jammu Division was inaugurated on June 1, it was officially a Gazette notification.
00:13The Jammu Division, especially in 2025, was very challenging,
00:19because right from the beginning of the operation, the exodus of tourists was increased.
00:25After that, the Jammu Division has changed the 6th June.
00:32The J&K affected tourism has been regained,
00:36and now we have more than 4,000,000 tourists have traveled to the Jammu Division in the Jammu Division.
00:44During the Jammu Division, the Jammu Division was very important.
00:50In the cherry season, we transported cherry also, and in the apple season, almost 20,000 tons of apples
00:57Jammu Division had been carried on the first time with rail from Kashmir Valley.
01:02In this situation, when the roads were due to the monsoons and landslides,
01:07the Jammu Division had been carried on the N.H. 44, the connectivity of the N.H. 44, and the flood and landslides were also overcome.
01:16The Jammu Division had a special flood,
01:18which was not only the people who could not be able to do it,
01:22and the P.D.S. relief supplies were also made by administration.
01:26In this situation, the Jammu Division was also very challenging,
01:31but the Jammu Division has achieved the achievements of the Jammu Division.
01:35The result was that in the first year,
01:38the Jammu Division and the Minister of Railways recognized the Jammu Division's efforts,
01:45and the ATI-Vishish trail of the Jammu Division's efforts.
01:48So, in this situation, we are hoping that in the 2023,
01:53we will also work for the passengers,
01:55and business developments in the area,
01:57and the needs and time-to-time,
02:00and we can fulfill the Jammu Division's demands.
02:02This Jammu Division's responsibility is now.
02:04No, look, the division was already managed by Firozpur
02:08and after the division that is established in jammu. If we look at NFR, which is a non-fair revenue initiative,
02:16which is where people get employment and the railway also get revenue,
02:22these are about 100 crore proposals that the jammu division has finalized in the last year and awards.
02:29And the time-to-time specials, whether it's a new year or a new year,
02:35if we think there's a rush, then we've also planned specials.
02:40And every weekend, we are closely monitoring the requirements of specials.
02:45And in such a way, we plan the specials as per wait-listing and as per origin-destination pair.
02:52We try more through social media, announcements, enquiries, reservation counters, booking counters
03:00and of course the fourth pillar of democracy media.
03:03So, we can reach more people to reach this message.

03:35which is due to our engineering restrictions, cautions,
03:38we're trying to make sure that the fog season is finished,
