PM Modi to offer prayers at Ramanathswamy temple in TN on Ram Navami, inaugurate bridge

New Delhi, Mar 26: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will offer prayers at the Ramanathswamy temple in Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu on the occasion of Ram Navami on April 6 and inaugurate the new Pamban Bridge, officials said on Wednesday.

The 2.5-kilometre bridge will allow trains to cross the sea between mainland India and the Rameswaram island in less than 5 minutes, significantly less than the current 25-30 minutes it takes on the existing structure.

The new Pamban Bridge is the first vertical lift bridge in Asia, officials have said. (PTI)
