The inauguration of the Chenab Rail Bridge, world's highest railway arch bridge, in J&K by Prime Minister Narendra Modi today (6 June) marks a monumental milestone in India’s infrastructure development.

The bridge, a critical component of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL) project, was officially opened alongside the launch of Anji Khad bridge and the two Vande Bharat Express trains connecting Katra to Srinagar, ushering in all-weather rail connectivity between Kashmir and the rest of India.
