India strongly rebuked Pakistan at the UN Human Rights Council, dismissing its allegations regarding Jammu and Kashmir as "incessant propaganda." New Delhi highlighted the region's development budget exceeding Pakistan's IMF bailout and pointed to infrastructure projects like the Chenab Rail Bridge as proof of progress, asserting that Kashmir is an integral part of India.

Dr. G Madhavi Latha, an IISc professor, played a crucial role as a geotechnical consultant for 17 years on the chenab bridge project, advising on slope stabilization and structural safety.

USBRL, chenab bridge, Vande Bharat Express inauguration: Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a key section of the Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) project, connecting Kashmir to the rest of India via an all-weather railway line. The project includes the world's highest railway arch bridge, the chenab bridge, and India's first cable-stayed bridge, the Anji Khad Bridge.

Before cranes and steel, horses and mules were crucial for building the chenab bridge, the world's highest railway bridge, connecting Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Engineers tamed the Himalayas by constructing roads and fortifying slopes. The bridge's completion, marked by arches meeting mid-air, signifies engineering audacity, bringing Kashmir closer to India via rail.

Anand Mahindra highlighted Dr. G. Madhavi Latha's work on the Chenab Railway Bridge. She is a geotechnical engineer and IISc Bengaluru professor. She provided vital inputs for 17 years. Her work ensured the bridge's structural stability and safety. The chenab bridge is the world's tallest railway bridge. Dr. Latha's journey began in Andhra Pradesh.
