You seem to have misunderstood my point .
The way vande bharat has not been given halt , (despite Hon'ble MP already announcing it on X and thanking PM for it) If strong protests are not voiced now (it's good citizens are doing that) ,IR will not provide halts at udhampur to any upcoming premium trains (Rajdhani/duronto/vb) on completed USBRL route, on pretext of its proximity to Jammu and Katra and lesser passenger footfall.(in comparison to bigger stations like JAT, LDH, UMB).

I have lived and studied in udhampur for 3 years . In late 2000s , when only Uttar sampark kranti, Jammu Mail and Jammu/pathankot DMUs used to come upto udhampur , at times we had to go to Jammu to catch long distance trains. Things are much better now , after trains extended to SVDK , but a lot more can be done .
Udhampur may not provide as much passengers to premium trains as UMB , LDH or JRC , but it has a sizable population, and is an important administrative and defence establishment of Jammu region in J&k .
IR needs to bring in a policy on rationalisation of halts . Providing halts only at time-tested well patronized stations on a route (as a 'low risk taking appetite") is only good for revenue , not from inter-region connectivity point of view .
please wait...Translate to HindiTu mere point ko samajh gaya hai.
Vande Bharat ko toh halt nahi mila hai, (Hon'ble MP ne toh X ko announce kar diya tha aur PM ka shukriya bhi kiya tha) Agar abhi tak strong protests nahi honge (jaise ki acche nagarik kar rahe hai), toh IR udhampur pe kisi bhi upcoming premium trains (Rajdhani/Duronto/VB) ke liye halt nahi dega, jo USBRL route pe pura hone ke baad aayenge, ki wajah se Jammu aur Katra ke najdik hone aur kam passenger footfall hone ki (JAT, LDH, UMB jaisi badi stations se tulna mein).
Maine udhampur mein 3 saal rehke padhai ki hai. Late 2000s mein, jab sirf Uttar Sampark Kranti, Jammu Mail aur Jammu/Pathankot DMUs udhampur tak aate the, kabhi kabhi humein Jammu jaana padta tha long distance trains pakadne ke liye. Abhi situation kafi behtar hai, jab train SVDK tak extend ho gayi hai, lekin aur bhi bahut kuch kiya ja sakta hai.
Udhampur UMB, LDH ya JRC ki tarah premium trains ke liye utna passenger nahi provide karta, lekin yahaan par ek achhe sankhya mein log rehte hai, aur Jammu & Kashmir ki Jammu region mein important administrative aur defence establishment hai.
IR ko halts ki rationalization ke liye ek policy laani chahiye. Sirf route pe time-tested aur well patronized stations par halt provide karna (ek 'kam risk lenewala attitude' ke roop mein) sirf revenue ke liye accha hai, lekin inter-region connectivity ke point of view se accha nahi hai.
