The DEMU\/MEMU rakes in Kashmir valley could not be brought to the workshop for periodic maintenance and upgradation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver and above the new train services, opening of this line has made a fundamental change in the ability to maintain rail tracks in Kashmir valley. The railway link has enabled movement of track maintenance machines to the Kashmir valley. Maintenance is now being done with modern machines, unlike manual maintenance earlier. This is leading to significant improvement in track quality,\u201d the ministry informed.<\/p>\n<p>Tracks are being upgraded across the country. By early 2025, 78 per cent of India\u2019s tracks have been upgraded to 110 kmph or more. This number was just 39 per cent in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis higher proportion should be seen in light of the rise in the total length of tracks in the last decade. Total length of tracks has increased to over 1 lakh km in 2025 from 79,342 km in 2014,\u201d the ministry noted.<\/p>\n<p>We will improve the track quality by significantly upgrading the track technology and maintenance practices. Modern track fittings, usage of track machines, ultra sound fracture detection machines, road cum rail vehicles, and integrated track measurement machines will make our track maintenance scientific,\u201d said Union Minister for Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAI will be extensively used in detecting defects. These technological changes will substantially improve the working conditions for track maintenance staff,\u201d he added.\u2014(IANS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi, July 27:&nbsp;The upgradation works of passenger coaches in the Kashmir Valley will be completed by August 31 and all rakes in service will be renovated and upgraded within this timeframe, the Indian Railways said on Sunday.
