J&K stronger than ever: LG Sinha

Katra, Jun 5: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Thursday said that Jammu and Kashmir was stronger, prosperous than ever and witnessed unprecedented growth under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Inspecting arrangements in Katra ahead of PM Modi's scheduled public meeting on Friday, LG Sinha said, “Inauguration and foundation stone laying of key infrastructure projects are examples of the PM’s commitment to J&K to ensure speedy and inclusive development.”

He said that the much-awaited inauguration of Chenab and Anji Rail Bridge and flag-off of the Vande Bharat trains by PM Modi would mark a historic moment for the nation and shape the future of J&K and the future of its citizens.

The LG reviewed the preparations to ensure the smooth conduct of the event and directed the officials for strict security, safety measures, and seamless coordination among all departments.

PM Modi would dedicate the Chenab Bridge, the tallest railway bridge in the world, the country's first cable-stayed Anji rail bridge, and the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project to the nation.

“Dedication of USBRL to the nation by PM Modi is a historic leap for J&K,” he said.
