Abstract

The Development of the Bhalukpong -Tawang railway line will prove to be useful from a security point of view besides accelerating the socio-economic development of the people. Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) are termed “Paradise on Earth” which is the most popular tourist destination in the world. Ladakh, also known as, “Moon on Earth” with its naked peaks and barren lands is a famous destination for adventure tourism, known across the world. Bilaspur-Manali-Leh will reduce the distance between Delhi to Leh from the present 40 hours to 20 hours. The new railway brings a significant reduction in transport costs and is projected to facilitate increased movements of goods. J&K tourism will get capable of not only earning credibility back to the economy but also could help accelerate economic growth in the short to medium term by generating revenues and employment opportunities.
