Qazigund railway station lies on Northern Railway network zone of Indian Railways. It is located in Qazigund Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is the main transport hub for the people of Qazigund.
Location[edit | edit source]
The station is situated near Qazigund town in Kulgam district, Jammu and Kashmir.
History[edit | edit source]
The station has been built as part of the Jammu–Baramulla line megaproject, intending to link the Kashmir Valley with Jammu Tawi and the rest of the Indian railway network. On the inauguration day former PM of India, Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi enjoyed the 12-minute ride to Qazigund with 100 students, mostly girls, of the Banihal Higher Secondary School, and made the 17.8-km ride back to Banihal, passing through the tunnel, the second longest in Asia. Those who accompanied them were Governor N.N. Vohra, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Railway Minister Mallikarjun Kharge and Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad.[2]
Reduced Level[edit | edit source]
The RL of the station is 1671 m above mean sea level.
Design[edit | edit source]
Like every other station in this mega project, this station also features Kashmiri wood architecture, with an intended ambience of a royal court which is designed to complement the local surroundings to the station. Station signage is predominantly in Urdu, English and Hindi.[citation needed]
