ACCUSING PAKISTAN OF attacking "insaaniyat and Kashmiriyat" by targeting tourists in Pahalgam last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Friday that the intention of the attack was "to engineer communal clashes across the country and deprive people of Kashmir of their livelihood".
Modi was speaking after he flagged off two Vande Bharat trains between Katra and Srinagar and inaugurated the world's highest rail bridge over the Chenab as well as the country's first cable-stayed bridge over Anji Khad.
The 272-km Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla railway link (USBRL) project is designed to provide all-weather connectivity by eventually linking the Kashmir Valley with the rest of the country.
