Description
Description | The project involves the completion and integration of the Udhampur-Baramulla-Srinagar Rail Link, including the construction of the Chenab Bridge and Anji Khad Bridge, enabling direct train travel from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. This railway line features 38 tunnels and 927 bridges, with the Chenab Bridge being the world's highest railway arch bridge. The project faced numerous challenges including political upheavals, financial constraints, geographical difficulties, and terrorism-related attacks. The project was initially proposed by Maharaja Pratap Singh in the late 1880s and was revived in the 1980s, with significant progress made in the 2000s and completion in 2025. |
