Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated a significant infrastructural marvel: the world's highest railway bridge over the Chenab river in Jammu and Kashmir, a project finalized at the cost of Rs 1,486 crore. Additionally, he flagged off a Vande Bharat Express train connecting Katra and Srinagar, enhancing travel in the region.
In a stern rebuke, Modi accused Pakistan of undermining 'insaniyat' and 'Kashmiriyat' by targeting tourists in Pahalgam, attempting to instigate communal unrest and disrupt the tourism-dependent livelihood of Kashmiris.
Meanwhile, political undertones were evident as J&K's Chief Minister Omar Abdullah leveraged the inaugural platform to humorously but assertively urge the restoration of statehood, reflecting ongoing tensions within the region's political landscape.
