In a landmark event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone, inaugurated, and dedicated multiple infrastructure projects worth over Rs 46,000 crore in Jammu & Kashmir, marking a significant step towards development and connectivity in the region.


Among the key highlights was the inauguration of the Chenab Bridge, the world’s highest railway arch bridge, and the Anji Bridge, India’s first cable-stayed rail bridge. PM Modi emphasised that these projects would serve as gateways to prosperity, boosting regional connectivity, tourism, and economic opportunities.

Referring to the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Line Project as a symbol of strength, the Prime Minister underscored its transformative impact on the region. He highlighted the government’s commitment to enhancing healthcare, with the foundation stone being laid for a new medical college in Jammu.

The 272 km long USBRL project, constructed worth around Rs 43,780 crore, includes 36 tunnels (spanning 119 km) and 943 bridges. The project establishes all-weather, seamless rail connectivity between the Kashmir Valley and the rest of the country, aiming to transform regional mobility and drive socio-economic integration.

Addressing the crowd, PM Modi declared Jammu & Kashmir the “crown jewel” of India and vowed to stand against terrorism, asserting that Operation Sindoor sent a strong message to adversaries. He praised the resilience of the people and reaffirmed his dedication to their progress and prosperity.

As the government continues to drive infrastructure advancements, Jammu & Kashmir moves closer to realising its full potential, with enhanced railway connectivity, economic growth, and renewed optimism.

Prime Minister also flagged off two Vande Bharat Express trains from Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra to Srinagar and back. They will offer a swift, comfortable, and reliable travel option for residents, tourists, and pilgrims, among others.

In a major boost to last-mile connectivity, especially in border areas,the  Prime Minister laid the foundation stone and inaugurated various road projects. He laid the foundation stone of the road widening project from Rafiabad to Kupwara on National Highway-701 and the construction of Shopian bypass road on NH-444 worth over Rs 1,952 crore. He also inaugurated two flyover projects at Sangrama Junction on National Highway-1 in Srinagar and at Bemina Junction on National Highway-44. These projects will ease traffic congestion and enhance traffic flow for the commuters.

The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence in Katra, worth over Rs 350 crore. It will be the first medical college in Reasi district, contributing substantially to the healthcare infrastructure in the region.
