jammu:The District Administration of Reasi on Saturday marked the 11th International Day of Yoga 2025 with a special yoga session held at the iconic Chenab Rail Bridge, the world’s highest railway bridge.
The event, held at the world’s highest railway bridge, saw participation from officers of the civil administration, Northern Railway, CRPF, residents, and yoga enthusiasts.
Amidst the serene landscape of the Chenab valley, the yoga session was held where participants performed various asanas.
On June 9, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the world’s highest railway arch bridge over the Chenab River. The architectural marvel, Chenab Rail Bridge, is 359 metres above the river.
It is a 1,315-metre-long steel arch bridge engineered to withstand seismic and wind conditions. A key impact of the bridge will be in enhancing connectivity between Jammu and Srinagar. It will officially connect the Kashmir Valley with the rest of India via rail for the first time in history.
The 11th International Day of Yoga saw widespread participation across states. The theme for this year is “Yoga for One Earth, One Health,” which echoes India’s vision of global wellness and reflects the integrated vision of well-being. It emphasises the interconnectedness of human and planetary health, drawing from the Indian ethos of “Sarve Santu Niramaya” (May all be free from disease).
