Commendable Idea
10/1/2023 11:09:19 PM
As the World’s highest steel arch rail bridge nears completion near Jyotipuram in district Reasi, J&K Chief Secretary Dr Arun Kumar Mehta’s suggestion to turn this engineering marvel into a tourist spot deserves applause and consideration.
This audacious proposal has the potential to put Reasi on the global tourist map and showcase India’s prowess in engineering and infrastructure.
Standing at a staggering 29 meters taller than the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris, this rail bridge is nothing short of a modern wonder. Its construction represents a testament to human innovation and engineering excellence. Chief Secretary Dr. Mehta’s proposal to capitalize on this achievement and promote tourism in the region could have far-reaching benefits.
First and foremost, the transformation of the rail bridge site into a tourist attraction would create a substantial economic boost for the region. Tourists from across the country and the world would be drawn to this site, leading to increased footfall in Reasi and the surrounding areas. This influx of visitors would stimulate local businesses, generate employment opportunities, and invigorate the economy.
Furthermore, this initiative would shed light on the incredible talent and capabilities of Indian engineers and architects. By showcasing this engineering marvel to the world, India can build a reputation for innovation and precision in the field of infrastructure development. This can attract global investment and collaboration, ultimately benefiting the country’s infrastructure sector and the economy as a whole.
To make this vision a reality, several steps need to be taken. Infrastructure development, such as improved roads, accommodations, and visitor facilities, would be necessary to accommodate the influx of tourists. Ensuring the site’s safety and sustainability should also be a priority. Additionally, engaging local communities in the development and management of the tourist spot can help ensure that the benefits are shared equitably.
Dr Mehta’s proposal to transform the world’s highest steel arch rail bridge site in Reasi into a tourist spot is a commendable idea that holds great promise. It has the potential to boost the region’s economy, promote Indian engineering excellence, and foster cultural exchange. However, it must be executed with care, taking into consideration environmental concerns and the well-being of local communities. With proper planning and responsible management, Reasi could become a must-visit destination, celebrated not only for its breathtaking rail bridge but also for its commitment to sustainable and inclusive tourism. This visionary project has the potential to leave a lasting legacy and showcase India’s capabilities on the global stage
