REASI: In a major relief initiative for cut-off areas, the District Administration Reasi has successfully resumed essential supply lines through railway services. Today, 86 quintals of dry ration, including 106 wheat bags and 66 rice bags, were delivered to the affected Sawalkote area of Reasi.
The District Administration Reasi transported the ration via a special train service arranged in coordination with the Railway authorities, following its formal request on 6th September 2025 for restoration of the KanthanâSawalkote railway route. Responding swiftly, the Railways commenced this dedicated service today, which will continue until 12th September. As part of the arrangement, todayâs consignment was carried from Katra to Sawalkote, ensuring uninterrupted food supplies for affected families.
Deputy Commissioner Nidhi Malik is personally monitoring coordination with the Railways to ensure smooth logistics and timely distribution. Meanwhile, the administration is also working with the Indian Army to airlift essential commodities to other completely cut-off areas, including Sarhi in Bhomag. A formal request was submitted on 7th September, but unfavorable weather conditions have delayed the operation. If weather permits, the airdrop will be carried out tomorrow.
The Sarhi area of Tehsil Bhomag remains isolated due to multiple landslides on the ReasiâSarhi (via Tote) road, while the alternative UdhampurâSarhi (via Moungri) route is blocked after the Thathi Bridge was washed away. Although adequate ration stock is currently available, precautionary measures are being taken to avoid any shortages.
The Deputy Commissioner further informed that reconstruction of the Thathi Bridge is being taken up on priority with Army support, while alternate routes and manual transportation options are also being explored. âOur goal is to ensure that no family suffers due to disruption of supply lines,â she said.
