Please do not make me famous in an unnecessary way

Amid the high praise of the Chinab Railway Bridge in India, one of the engineers in the middle of the lights decline – not against achievement, but against the headlines.

“All other media data such as” Women behind the mission “,” has become impossible possible “, wrote, and” doing miracles to build the bridge “is baseless.”

Latha, a professor at the Indian Institute of Science, played a technical role in building the highest railway bridge in the world, which was opened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week. The Chinab Bridge, which was built by Indian railways, extends with AFCons, now at an amazing 359 meters over the river in Jamo and Kashmir.

While the media rushed to the social media to celebrate it as an individual champion behind the engineering marvel, Latha rejected the narration. “Please remember that I am one of the thousands who deserve appreciation to the Chinab Bridge,” she wrote in the widely joint LinkedIn post. “All the glory of planning, design and construction goes to the Indian railway and AFCons.”

She explained that her contribution was in the field of stability of the slope and the design of the basis for difficult terrain – a critical but narrow liability in a project that requires a coordinated effort for hundreds of engineers, workers and planners for several years.

Despite the distortion, Latha expressed her gratitude for supporting the audience and shared the unexpected impact of interest. She wrote: “Many parents have written to me, saying they want to become their daughters like me,” she wrote. “Many young children have written to me that they now want to obtain civil engineering as choosing their career.”

However, she urged restraint. “Please do not make me unnecessarily famous,” she added.

The Chinab Bridge is part of the UDHAMPUR-SRINAGAR-BARAMULLA railway project, and it is a strategic and symbolic batch to enhance connection in Jamo and Kashmir. For Latha, though, the bridge is not related to personal praise – it is related to teamwork and national progress. “There are millions of unknown heroes that I salute today.”
