Prime Minister Narendra Modi ushered in a new era of development in Jammu and Kashmir on Friday, just weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack, as he launched a slew of key projects, including the inauguration of the world’s highest railway bridge over the Chenab river and the flagging of two Vande Bharat Express trains from Katra to Srinagar. The Chenab and Anji railway bridges are an engineering marvel and central component of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project, which now provides seamless rail connectivity between the Kashmir Valley and the rest of India.
Speaking at a public gathering on the occasion, PM Modi promised the people of Jammu and Kashmir he won’t let the development stop and if any hurdle comes in the way, it will have to face Modi first – a reference to Pakistan-sponsored terror activities in the region and India’s Operation Sindoor retaliation.
