‘Any hurdle J-K’s development will have to face Modi first’: From Katra, PM sends a strong message to Pakistan

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.
