Pamban Bridge an engineering marvel: Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw

Vaishnaw addressed a gathering after Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new Pamban bridge in Tamil Nadu's Ramanathapuram today.

Noting the occasion of Ram Navami, Vaishnaw said that the day will remain in memories for more than 100 years.

"Today is the day of Ram Navami. It is the day on which our PM, Narendra Modi, has dedicated the new Pambam bridge to the nation. It is the day which will remain in our memories for more than 100 years," Vaishnaw said.

Vaishnaw also said that the bridge is a "pearl" of Tamil culture and a "milestone" in the country's journey to become a developed nation.
