India PM Modi opens strategic railway in contested ‘crown jewel' Kashmir
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 6 opened a strategic railway line to Kashmir he called 'the crown jewel of India'. PHOTO: EPA-EFE SRINAGAR - Prime Minister Narendra Modi made his first visit to Kashmir on June 6 since a conflict with arch-rival Pakistan, opening a strategic railway line to the contested region he called 'the crown jewel of India'. Mr Modi launched a string of projects worth billions of dollars for the divided Muslim-majority territory, the centre of bitter rivalry between India and Pakistan since their independence from British rule in 1947. Nuclear-armed India and Pakistan fought a four-day conflict in May, their worst standoff since 1999, before a ceasefire was agreed on May 10. 'Pakistan will never forget... its shameful loss,' the Hindu nationalist premier told crowds a month since India launched strikes on its neighbour after an attack on tourists in Kashmir. 'Friends, today's event is a grand festival of India's unity and firm resolve,' Mr Modi said after striding across the soaring bridge to formally launch it for rail traffic. 'This is a symbol and celebration of rising India,' he said of the Chenab Bridge which connects two mountains. New Delhi calls the Chenab span the 'world's highest railway arch bridge', sitting 359m above a river. While several road and pipeline bridges are higher, Guinness World Records confirmed that Chenab trumps the previous highest railway bridge, the Najiehe in China. 'Our troubles' Mr Modi said the railway was 'an extraordinary feat of architecture' that 'will improve connectivity' by providing the first rail link from the Indian plains up to mountainous Kashmir. With 36 tunnels and 943 bridges, the new railway runs for 272km and connects Udhampur, Srinagar and Baramulla. It is expected to halve the travel time between the town of Katra in the Hindu-majority Jammu region and Srinagar, the main city in Kashmir, to around three hours. The new route will facilitate the movement of people and goods, as well as troops, that was previously possible only via treacherous mountain roads and by air. Mr Modi's Hindu nationalist government revoked Kashmir's limited autonomy and took the state under direct rule in 2019. Pakistan's foreign ministry in a statement said India's 'claims of development... ring hollow against the backdrop of an unprecedented military presence, suppression of fundamental freedoms, arbitrary arrests, and a concerted effort to alter the region's demography'. Around 150 people protested against the project on the outskirts of Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir. 'We want to tell India that building bridges and laying roads in the name of development will not make the people of Kashmir give up their demand for freedom,' said Mr Azir Ahmad Ghazali, who organised the rally attended by Kashmiris who fled unrest on the Indian side in the 1990s. 'In clear and unequivocal terms, we want to say to the Indian government that the people of Kashmir have never accepted India's forced rule.' More than 70 people were killed in missile, drone and artillery fire during last month's conflict. The fighting was triggered by an April 22 attack on civilians in Indian-administered Kashmir that New Delhi accused Pakistan of backing, a charge denied by Islamabad. Rebel groups in Indian-run Kashmir have waged an insurgency for 35 years demanding independence for the territory or its merger with Pakistan. Mr Modi also announced further government financial support for families whose relatives were killed, or whose homes were damaged, during the brief conflict –- mainly in shelling along the heavily militarised de facto border with Pakistan, known as the Line of Control. 'Their troubles are our troubles,' Mr Modi said. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Canada's Carney invites India's Modi to June G7 summit in Canada
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives to attend the ceremonial recption of Angola's President Joao Manuel Goncalves Lourenco at the Rashtrapati Bhavan presidential palace in New Delhi, India, May 3, 2025. REUTERS/Stringer/ File Photo NEW DELHI/TORONTO - Canada said Prime Minister Mark Carney invited his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi to the upcoming Group of Seven summit in a phone call on Friday, as the two sides look to mend ties after relations soured in the past two years. Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Modi agreed to remain in contact and looked forward to meeting at the G7 Leaders' Summit later this month, a readout from Carney's office said. India is not a part of the grouping but can be invited as a guest to its annual gathering, which will be held this year in Kananaskis in the Canadian province of Alberta, from June 15 to 17. "Glad to receive a call from Prime Minister (Carney)...thanked him for the invitation to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis later this forward to our meeting at the Summit," Modi said earlier in a post on X. Modi also stated in his post on Friday that India and Canada would work together "with renewed vigour, guided by mutual respect and shared interests." Ties between the two nations deteriorated after Canada accused India of involvement in a Sikh separatist leader's murder, and of attempting to interfere in the country's 2019 and 2021 elections. Canada expelled several top Indian diplomats and consular officials in October 2024 after linking them to the murder and alleged a broader effort to target Indian dissidents in Canada. New Delhi has denied the allegations, and expelled the same number of Canadian diplomats in response. India is Canada's 10th largest trading partner and Canada is the biggest exporter of pulses, including lentils, to India. "The two leaders discussed the longstanding relationship between Canada and India, including deep people-to-people ties and significant commercial links," the readout from Carney's office said. "Importantly, there was agreement to continued law enforcement dialogue and discussions addressing security concerns." Ottawa holds the rotational G7 presidency this year.

Taiwan accuses China of conducting ‘provocative' patrol near island
A Chinese fighter jet flies above Pingtan island, the closest point in China to Taiwan's main island, in Fujian province on April 2. PHOTO: AFP TAIPEI - Taiwan on June 6 condemned Beijing's 'provocative' actions after China conducted a patrol around the island, a day after a call between US and Chinese leaders. Taipei's defence ministry said it detected 21 Chinese military aircraft, including fighters and drones, of which 15 crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait in a 'combat readiness patrol'. 'The relevant actions are highly provocative... bring instability and threats to the region, and are a blatant violation of the regional status quo,' the ministry said in a statement. Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory and has not renounced the use of force to bring the island under its control. It has ramped up military pressure on Taipei in recent years, and dispatched warplanes and naval vessels around the island on a near-daily basis. June 6's patrol followed a phone call June 5 between US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, during which the two leaders discussed Taiwan. Mr Xi warned that Washington should handle the issue 'with caution' to avoid Taiwanese separatists 'dragging China and the United States into the danger of conflict', according to Chinese state news agency Xinhua. The Chinese leader's comments come after US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said that Beijing's military was 'rehearsing for the real deal' and preparing for a potential invasion of Taiwan.
