India's Modi to visit Kashmir to unveil strategic railway
Khaleej Times
|June 05, 2025
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to make his first visit to contested Kashmir since a conflict between India and Pakistan last month, inaugurating a strategic railway to the mountainous region, his office said Wednesday.

Modi is set to visit on Friday to open the Chenab Bridge, a 1,315-metre-long —(4,314-foot-long) steel and concrete span that connects two mountains with an arch 359 metres above the river below.
“The project establishes all-weather, seamless rail connectivity between the Kashmir Valley and the rest of the country,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement. Modi is expected to flag off a special train.
Last month, India and Pakistan fought an intense four-day conflict, their worst standoff since 1999, before a ceasefire was agreed on May 10.
More than 70 people were killed in missile, drone and artillery fire on both sides.
