In an intense display of preparedness, security forces conducted a mock drill at the iconic Chenab Rail Bridge in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir. Recognized as the world’s highest railway bridge, this engineering marvel stands at 359 meters above the Chenab River, towering over the Eiffel Tower by approximately 35 meters.
The drill was jointly executed by District Police Reasi alongside SOG, CRPF 126bn, GRP, RPF, SDRF, VDG, and various civil and emergency units, showcasing a coordinated effort in ensuring security at a strategic location. This action underscores the region’s emphasis on safety amid escalating terror threats.
