Getting a train upto SVDK is very difficult unless some political superpower is behind the train(Example: NDLS-SVDK VB, GCT-SVDK weekly). This can be worked out from the aspect of RB that an additional Sampark Kranti is still not in operation despite knowing that it will be a super hit train on ROK-JIND-JHL-DUI route.
In case RB doesn't approve this train it can be restricted upto JAT. The restricted train has much more chances of getting an approval. Also you may drop Kathua stop and provide a stop at Phagwara(PGW) as Kathua already... more...
As this train connects one of the most visited temple of Northern side of the country (Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine) with Rameswaram, one of the Chaar Dham and also a Jyotirlinga, I think getting this train upto Katra will be possible without much hindrance as it will be used by the devotees/pilgrims mostly.
RB has plans in mind for further connections to Srinagar which will utilise this same single line section so it will be definitely very difficult. These plans are further more intensified by politics which revolves around introduction of new trains. This is Kashmir region and our dear Photo wale PM won't miss this opportunity to give content to feku TV news channels(subject to result of current elections).
New trains will be introduced for Srinagar/Baramulla which require RB to keep a lot of slots empty. Not every train can be made to run... more...
up to Katra.
If some other government comes in power then I hope they don't interfere in railways and let RB do their work of introducing trains instead of meddling in these matters. This is impossible but if it happens then you may approach higher authority to see if introduction of this train is feasible.

These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
