Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated the New Pamban Bridge - the country's first vertical-lift sea bridge - in Tamil Nadu on the occasion of Ram Navami.
PM Modi also flagged off a Coast Guard ship - which passed under the bridge - and the new Rameswaram-Tambaram (Chennai) train.
According to the Ministry of Railways, the 2.07-kilometer-long bridge, spanning the Palk Strait in Tamil Nadu, stands as a testament to India's engineering prowess and visionary infrastructure development.
