Are the sources appropriate?

As amazing as this sounds, it reads like a travel guide. I'd also like to know more about the thought behind the railway — will it save 10 hours on a national corridor or is this a vanity project to replace China as the nation with the world's highest railway?

'Shelved' extensions be reported just so.

There were planned a couple of further extension lines from Leh. However, in 2023, the Indian parliament lower house was informed by a ministry that these were "shelved due to low traffic projections". (See New Rail Lines for Leh-Pathankot, Leh-Kargil-Srinagar Shelved Due to Low Traffic Projections, News18, 29 July 2023.) This is recognised in the present article, but not very clearly, and more or less "under protest" (see e. g. this edit).

Now, I'm personally for railway construction (with due care taken to avoid further worker accidents); so I can share the sentiments of other railway enthusiasts editing the wp. However, the wikipedia is not an appropriate place for agitating changes of government policies. I'm going to edit a little, also in some section heads, in order to make the article as closely as possible reflecting the documented realities (as they seem to be now). The fact that these indeed were decided, and planning for them proceeded for a good time, make them interesting enough to be kept in the article, in my opinion, whether or now the plans at some future date will be "lifted from the shelves"; but as "abandoned former plans" rather than "plans".

I'll also remove the reservation about and discussion of means for achieving a change of policy as regards the now "shelved" extensions. These are not at all supported by the given source. Anyone putting this back should provide adequate sources, I think; and this especially goes for any advocacy. It is quite OK to state that the prominent politician or other well-known person or group asks the Indian people to put pressure on the government for reactivating these plans, if such a fact is well documented; but of course in that case we also should make space for well-documented negative responses to such a claim. In the absence of such a discussion going on outside Wikipedia, it (unhappily) is not our place to start one. Regards, JoergenB (talk) 19:17, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
