Pamban Bridge brings technology and tradition together: PM; new bridge at Rameswaram marks a significant milestone in India's infrastructure development.

Modi opens India's first vertical-lift sea bridge

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Sunday, inaugurated the New Pamban Railway Bridge at Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu, a remarkable infrastructure project marking a significant milestone in India's infrastructure development.

The Prime Minister operated the vertical lift span of the bridge using a remote device, allowing a Coast Guard ship to pass beneath.

The newly constructed structure is the country's first vertical lift railway sea bridge, showcasing a major leap in indigenous engineering.

Modi also flagged off a new train service between Rameswaram and Coimbatore in Chennai, further enhancing regional connectivity and facilitating smoother travel for commuters and pilgrims.

Although Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin was absent from the function due to prior engagements, the BJP leaders were present. These included Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, state Minister Thangam Thennarasu, and BJP leaders like Annamalai, Sudhakar Reddy, H. Raja, and Nainar Nagenthiran, along with Ramanathapuram District Collector Simranjeet Singh Kahlon.
