JAMMU, May 27: Residents of Kauri in Reasi district, the home to world’s highest rail bridge over the Chenab, are up in arms in support of their demand for a railway station which they believe will safeguard the future of their coming generations after parting away their land for the project.
The 1.3-km Chenab rail bridge located 359 metres above the riverbed and 35 metres higher than the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris forms a crucial link in the 111-km stretch from Katra to Banihal, which is part of the prestigious Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL) project.
