'People from across the country congratulated the Prime Minister for his 11 years of journey.
We express our heartfelt gratitude to our Prime Minister for his tireless leadership, unwavering commitment and transformative vision that has reshaped the destiny of our nation,' Pattnaik added.

Bengaluru professor behind world's tallest Chenab Bridge urges people not to make her ‘unnecessarily famous'
Chenab Bridge in Jammu & Kashmir, dubbed as the world's tallest railway arch was recently inaugurated by PM Modi. Following this, Dr G Madhavi Latha from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, one of the minds behind this iconic structure, stole the spotlight. This engineering expert played a pivotal role in the design and construction of the bridge. Expectedly, social media couldn't stop congratulating her and talking about her achievements. However, the engineer has broken her silence in a LinkedIn post about her internet fame, urging everyone to stop making her 'unnecessarily famous.' 'Hearty Congratulations to India on the inauguration of Chenab Railway bridge by honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji. The bridge is a Civil Engineering marvel. All glory of the planning, design and construction goes to Indian Railways and AFCONS,' she wrote on LinkedIn. In the following lines, she added that thousands of people have 'significantly contributed' to constructing the iconic structure. She continued, 'There are millions of unsung heroes to whom I salute today,' and briefly explained her role in the project. 'All other media statements like 'woman behind the mission', 'made impossible possible' and 'done miracles to build the bridge' are baseless,' she expressed, adding that several people have also reached out praising her. 'I am extremely happy about this. Thanks to all Indians who have poured congratulatory messages to me. Please remember that I am one of the thousands who deserve appreciation for Chenab Bridge. Please don't make me unnecessarily famous,' she expressed, adding, 'All glory belongs to Indian Railways.' An individual commented, 'Congratulations, ma'am... And salute to your big Heart… Congratulations to the entire team behind this marvel construction.' Another person praised it as the 'Most appropriate response.' A third joined, 'Heartfelt congratulations!. Your humility and contribution to such a historic engineering feat are truly inspiring. Salute to all the minds and hands behind the Chenab Bridge!' A fourth wrote, 'It needs a really big heart to share the limelight and to share the credit with the entire team. Very few in today's world have this mindset. A big congratulations to the entire team and the cumulative effort.' The bridge, built across the Chenab River, connects Kashmir with the rest of the country by rail.

PM Modi to visit Cyprus amid closer Pakistan-Turkey alignment after India's Operation Sindoor
PM Modi will visit Cyprus and Croatia as part of India's growing outreach to Europe, en route to and from the G7 Summit in Canada. The visit comes amid strained ties with Turkey and rising Ankara-Islamabad solidarity after India's recent counter-terror operation. read more As part of India's deepening engagement with Europe, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Cyprus on his way to Canada for the G7 Summit, and Croatia on his return. Visit comes amid strained Turkey ties PM Modi's visit to Cyprus – a country in conflict with Turkey since 1974 – comes in the backdrop of growing Ankara-Islamabad solidarity following India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Strategic EU partners Both Cyprus and Croatia are members of the European Union. Notably, Cyprus is set to assume the rotating presidency of the EU Council in the first half of next year. Modi was earlier scheduled to visit Croatia, along with the Netherlands and Norway, last month, but the trip was postponed due to heightened military tensions with Pakistan. G7 Summit in Canada The G7 Summit will be held in Kananaskis, Alberta, from 15 to 17 June. Prime Minister Modi is expected to attend the outreach session on the final day. Since the invitation from Canada came at short notice, the details of his programme are still being finalised. Efforts are underway to organise bilateral meetings on the sidelines. Historic Cyprus visit Modi's visit to Cyprus will be closely watched, as it marks only the third visit by an Indian Prime Minister—after A B Vajpayee in 2002 and Indira Gandhi in 1983. The visit comes amid strained ties between India and Turkey, which openly supported Pakistan during last month's India-Pakistan military confrontation. Background: The Cyprus-Turkey conflict The Cyprus-Turkey conflict is a decades-old territorial and political dispute rooted in ethnic tensions and rival national interests. The conflict escalated in 1974, when Turkey invaded the northern part of Cyprus following a Greek-backed coup that sought to unify the island with the Greek mainland. Turkey claimed its intervention was to protect the Turkish Cypriot minority. However, the invasion led to the division of the island into two parts. Today, the internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus, governed by Greek Cypriots, controls the southern two-thirds of the island and is a member of the European Union. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The northern third is administered by the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), which is recognised only by Turkey. A UN-patrolled buffer zone separates the two regions.
