India has built the world’s highest railway bridge over the Chenab River in Jammu and Kashmir, marking a major engineering milestone. Central to the project’s success is Professor G. Madhavi Latha, a civil engineering expert from IISc Bengaluru, who served as the geotechnical consultant for 17 years. Her adaptive design strategies overcame extreme geological and weather challenges. Recognized nationally, she’s received several awards for her work.
