Vande Bharat in snowy valleys

The amazing video of the Vande Bharat in snowy valleys was shared by Banihal MLA Sajjad Shaheen. The video shows the semi-high-speed Vande Bharat train gliding across a landscape wrapped in thick snow in the higher reaches of Jammu and Kashmir. Snow-covered tracks, frozen slopes and towering peaks form the backdrop, highlighting how rail services are now operating in conditions that once brought connectivity to a halt during peak winter.
