Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Saturday (March 2) listed out the transformational initiatives taken by the Railways in the last 10 years of the Narendra Modi government. Vaishnaw said that the construction of the world’s highest railway bridge – the Chenab bridge, and the development of the first under-river water tunnel for the Kolkata metro are some of the notable technological advancements in the rail sector.
Vaishnaw also highlighted the commencement of construction for India’s inaugural undersea tunnel connecting Mumbai and Thane as a component of the ongoing Bullet train initiative. He noted that only approximately five countries worldwide possess the requisite technology for such endeavors.
