On the eve of a milestone event, Union Minister Jitendra Singh praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for expediting the completion of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL) project. This venture will see the inauguration of the world's highest railway bridge over the Chenab river, cementing a new chapter in India's infrastructural advancements.
