Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur has the potential to contribute to the start-up movement promoted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as declared by Union Minister Jitendra Singh. He addressed the media at an event on ‘9 years of Seva,’ stating that ‘Udhampur-Doda-Kathua’ is among the most developed Parliamentary constituencies in India. It is the only constituency in the country to have three medical colleges with the best infrastructure, including the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), making it one of the best constituencies in India. Singh, who represents Udhampur constituency in Lok Sabha, said this constituency has earned its name in India and the world as the birthplace of the ‘purple revolution’ which has given birth to agri-tech start-ups not only in the union territory but across the country. The world’s highest railway bridge – the Chenab Bridge – and the world’s longest tunnel – Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookherjee tunnel – are located here, making the constituency an infrastructural marvel in the country. The establishment of an Inter Modal Station (IMS) at Katra, a world-class state-of-the-art project, will not only improve the travelling experience of the pilgrims visiting Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine but will open numerous opportunities in terms of employment and trade for the people of this constituency, added the minister.
