Breaking News: Chenab Bridge built in high wind zones without a single worker injury | ABP NEWS

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in Jammu and Kashmir to inaugurate the world’s highest railway arch bridge over the Chenab River. This engineering marvel, known as the Chenab Bridge, stands as a symbol of India’s remarkable infrastructural achievement. Alongside this, PM Modi will also flag off the Vande Bharat train service that will run between Katra and Srinagar, passing over the Chenab Bridge. The Prime Minister’s visit highlights the strategic and developmental importance of this region. The Chenab Bridge project involved immense efforts from hardworking laborers who ensured that construction was carried out safely despite challenging conditions, including strong winds that make standing on the bridge difficult. The construction of this cable-stayed bridge is a remarkable feat, especially considering the harsh weather and seismic risks in the area. Following the inauguration of the Chenab Bridge, PM Modi will also inspect the Anji Khad Bridge before heading to Katra. His visit includes announcing development projects worth ₹46,000 crore aimed at boosting the region’s growth and connectivity. This initiative is expected to strengthen economic activity, enhance tourism, and improve access to the Kashmir Valley, marking a new chapter in Jammu and Kashmir’s progress.
