==Introduction and topography==
[[Northern Railway Zone (India)|Northern Railway]] has undertaken the megaproject of constructing a [[Jammu–Baramulla line|new railway line]] across the [[India]]n union territory of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] between the towns of [[Udhampur]] near [[Jammu]] and [[Baramulla]] on the northwestern edge of the [[Kashmir Valley]]. This project was declared a national project in 2002.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nr.indianrail.gov.in/scripts/static/jammuandkashmir.aspx|work=Northern Railway Website: Official Page on the Kashmir Railway Project|title=J&K Rail Link Project|accessdate=2008-05-08| archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20080506085448/http://www.nr.indianrail.gov.in/scripts/static/jammuandkashmir.aspx| archivedate = 6 May 2008}}</ref> It is directed by the Northern Railway.

The extraordinary challenge lies in a large number of tunnels (totaling 63 km in length<ref>{{cite journal |last=Singh |first=Mahendra Kumar |date=30 May 2011 |title=At 359 metres, rail bridge over Chenab will be world's highest |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-30/india/29599906_1_chenab-bridge-rail-bridge-highest-railway-bridge |url-status=dead |journal=[[The Times of India]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105204349/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-30/india/29599906_1_chenab-bridge-rail-bridge-highest-railway-bridge |archive-date=2012-11-05 |accessdate=2011-05-31}}</ref>) and bridges (7.5 km) to be implemented in highly rugged and mountainous terrain, with the difficult [[Himalayas|Himalayan]] geology. The most difficult part is believed to be the crossing of the deep gorge of the Chenab River, near Salal Hydro Power Dam,<ref name="location">{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/2008/01/17/stories/2008011757570500.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080120120958/http://www.hindu.com/2008/01/17/stories/2008011757570500.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=2008-01-20|title=Chenab Rail bridge will be highest in the world|accessdate=2008-08-14|location=Chennai, India|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=2008-01-17}}</ref> by the Chenab Bridge.

Another, smaller, arch bridge proposed on the new railway line was the {{convert|657|m|ft|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|189|m|ft|abbr=on}} high [[Anji Khad Bridge]] between [[Katra, Jammu and Kashmir|Katra]] and [[Reasi]] over the [[Chenab River|Chenab river tributary]] river. This proposal was abandoned by the railway due to the specific geology of the location and a cable-stayed bridge is proposed which will be Indian Railways first cable stayed bridge.

==Design==
After many deliberations, taking into account aesthetics, economy, and availability of local expertise and construction materials, the Chenab Rail Bridge was designed as a large span single arch steel bridge with approach viaducts on either side. The arch is two-ribbed, fabricated from large steel trusses. The chords of the trusses are sealed steel boxes, internally stiffened and filled with concrete to assist in controlling wind-induced forces on the bridge. Another advantage of concrete filling is that internal painting will not be required.

The number of bearings has been minimized, particularly on the approach viaduct, through the use of continuous construction. This is advantageous, as it reduces the maintenance and inspection efforts, and improves the riding quality. The viaduct piers are of concrete, while the piers near the arch are
Indian construction standards such as the Indian Railway Standards (IRS), the Indian Road Congress (IRC) and the Indian Standards (IS) were found inadequate for the large spans of the Chenab Bridge. For example, the Indian Railway Standards (IRS) is primarily intended for simply supported bridges with spans up to 100m (although these have been successfully used for higher spans up to 154m). The spans for the Chenab Rail Bridge greatly exceed this limit, and are continuous. Therefore, to assure a safe design, Indian national standards have been supplemented with International standards such as British Standards (BS), [[International Union of Railways]] (UIC) and Euro. Also, many global experts with versatile and relevant experience, have been involved in order to facilitate making the project a success.

Following are some of the design considerations taken into account:
* Limit state philosophy of design has been decided to be followed as per BS codes
* Computation of wind load effects as per wind tunnel tests
* Site specific seismic spectra developed by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee
* Provision of Euro code 8 for ductility detailing of very tall and hollow rectangular RCC piers
* Provision of long welded rail (LWR) over the bridges and resulting force calculation as per UIC – 774-3R guidelines
* Blast resistant design used
* Design checking for fatigue as per BS codes
* Deformation limits as per comfort criteria of UIC – 776-2R and UIC 776 -3R guidelines
* Redundancy provided in the structures, for lower level of operation during mishaps and against collapse in extreme cases of one pier failure

The erection scheme for the bridge is a project in itself. Two pylons (about 130 m and 100 m high) were erected on either side of the river, and two auxiliary self-propelled cable cranes (capacity of 20 tonnes each) were used to tow temporary auxiliary ropes across these pylons. The ropes were used to support the partly finished arch parts. After arch completion, the trusses will be added, finally the girder will be constructed as a horizontal sliding type platform.

==Introduction and topography==
[[Northern Railway Zone (India)|Northern Railway]] has undertaken the megaproject of constructing a [[Jammu–Baramulla line|new railway line]] across the [[India]]n union territory of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] between the towns of [[Udhampur]] near [[Jammu]] and [[Baramulla]] on the northwestern edge of the [[Kashmir Valley]]. This project was declared a national project in 2002.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nr.indianrail.gov.in/scripts/static/jammuandkashmir.aspx|work=Northern Railway Website: Official Page on the Kashmir Railway Project|title=J&K Rail Link Project|accessdate=2008-05-08| archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20080506085448/http://www.nr.indianrail.gov.in/scripts/static/jammuandkashmir.aspx| archivedate = 6 May 2008}}</ref> It is directed by the Northern Railway.

The extraordinary challenge lies in a large number of tunnels (totaling 63 km in length<ref>{{cite journal |last=Singh |first=Mahendra Kumar |date=30 May 2011 |title=At 359 metres, rail bridge over Chenab will be world's highest |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-30/india/29599906_1_chenab-bridge-rail-bridge-highest-railway-bridge |url-status=dead |journal=[[The Times of India]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105204349/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-30/india/29599906_1_chenab-bridge-rail-bridge-highest-railway-bridge |archive-date=2012-11-05 |accessdate=2011-05-31}}</ref>) and bridges (7.5 km) to be implemented in highly rugged and mountainous terrain, with the difficult [[Himalayas|Himalayan]] geology. The most difficult part is believed to be the crossing of the deep gorge of the Chenab River, near Salal Hydro Power Dam,<ref name="location">{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/2008/01/17/stories/2008011757570500.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080120120958/http://www.hindu.com/2008/01/17/stories/2008011757570500.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=2008-01-20|title=Chenab Rail bridge will be highest in the world|accessdate=2008-08-14|location=Chennai, India|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=2008-01-17}}</ref> by the Chenab Bridge.

Another, smaller, arch bridge proposed on the new railway line was the {{convert|657|m|ft|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|189|m|ft|abbr=on}} high [[Anji Khad Bridge]] between [[Katra, Jammu and Kashmir|Katra]] and [[Reasi]] over the [[Chenab River|Chenab river tributary]] river. This proposal was abandoned by the railway due to the specific geology of the location and a cable-stayed bridge is proposed which will be Indian Railways first cable stayed bridge.

==Design==
After many deliberations, taking into account aesthetics, economy, and availability of local expertise and construction materials, the Chenab Rail Bridge was designed as a large span single arch steel bridge with approach viaducts on either side. The arch is two-ribbed, fabricated from large steel trusses. The chords of the trusses are sealed steel boxes, internally stiffened and filled with concrete to assist in controlling wind-induced forces on the bridge. Another advantage of concrete filling is that internal painting will not be required.

The number of bearings has been minimized, particularly on the approach viaduct, through the use of continuous construction. This is advantageous, as it reduces the maintenance and inspection efforts, and improves the riding quality. The viaduct piers are of concrete, while the piers near the arch are
Indian construction standards such as the Indian Railway Standards (IRS), the Indian Road Congress (IRC) and the Indian Standards (IS) were found inadequate for the large spans of the Chenab Bridge. For example, the Indian Railway Standards (IRS) is primarily intended for simply supported bridges with spans up to 100m (although these have been successfully used for higher spans up to 154m). The spans for the Chenab Rail Bridge greatly exceed this limit, and are continuous. Therefore, to assure a safe design, Indian national standards have been supplemented with International standards such as British Standards (BS), [[International Union of Railways]] (UIC) and Euro. Also, many global experts with versatile and relevant experience, have been involved in order to facilitate making the project a success.

Following are some of the design considerations taken into account:
* Limit state philosophy of design has been decided to be followed as per BS codes
* Computation of wind load effects as per wind tunnel tests
* Site specific seismic spectra developed by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee
* Provision of Euro code 8 for ductility detailing of very tall and hollow rectangular RCC piers
* Provision of long welded rail (LWR) over the bridges and resulting force calculation as per UIC – 774-3R guidelines
* Blast resistant design used
* Design checking for fatigue as per BS codes
* Deformation limits as per comfort criteria of UIC – 776-2R and UIC 776 -3R guidelines
* Redundancy provided in the structures, for lower level of operation during mishaps and against collapse in extreme cases of one pier failure

The quality aspect has been emphasised, as the quantum of fabrication and welding is colossal. Mostly indigenous material compliant to IS codes has been planned to be used, whereas for the design, international codes have been referred, which means the Quality Control work is still difficult.

The '''High Commissioner of India to the United Kingdom''' is the head of the [[High Commission]] of '''[[India]]''' to the '''[[United Kingdom]]'''. The High Commission is located at [[India House, London|India House]] in [[London]].

==History==

In 1919, a committee chaired by the [[Marquess of Crewe]] determined there existed the need to separate the agency work of the [[India Office]] from its other political and administrative roles, and recommended the transfer of all such work to "a High Commissioner for India or some similar Indian Governmental Representative in London." It was also felt popular opinion in India would view this as a step towards full Dominion status for India.<ref name="chapterxv"/> The [[Government of India Act, 1919|Government of India Act]] that same year upheld the recommendations of the committee, making provision for "the appointment of a High Commissioner by His Majesty by Order in Council, which might delegate to the official any of the contractual powers of the Secretary of State [for India] in Council, and prescribe the conditions under which he should act on behalf of the Government of India or any Provincial Government."

On 13 August 1920, King-Emperor [[George V]] issued the required Order in Council. Until India became independent in 1947, the post was styled '''High Commission for India'''. The first High Commissioner for India was [[Indian Civil Service]] officer Sir [[William Stevenson Meyer]]; the first of Indian origin was Sir [[Dadiba Merwanji Dalal]]. The High Commissioner enjoyed the same status as his counterparts from the British Dominions.<ref name="chapterxv"/> Upon Indian independence, the post was given the present designation.

The '''High Commissioner of India to the United Kingdom''' is the head of the [[High Commission]] of '''[[India]]''' to the '''[[United Kingdom]]'''. The High Commission is located at [[India House, London|India House]] in [[London]].

==History==

In 1919, a committee chaired by the [[Marquess of Crewe]] determined there existed the need to separate the agency work of the [[India Office]] from its other political and administrative roles, and recommended the transfer of all such work to "a High Commissioner for India or some similar Indian Governmental Representative in London." It was also felt popular opinion in India would view this as a step towards full Dominion status for India.<ref name="chapterxv"/> The [[Government of India Act, 1919|Government of India Act]] that same year upheld the recommendations of the committee, making provision for "the appointment of a High Commissioner by His Majesty by Order in Council, which might delegate to the official any of the contractual powers of the Secretary of State [for India] in Council, and prescribe the conditions under which he should act on behalf of the Government of India or any Provincial Government."

On 13 August 1920, King-Emperor [[George V]] issued the required Order in Council. Until India became independent in 1947, the post was styled '''High Commission for India'''. The first High Commissioner for India was [[Indian Civil Service]] officer Sir [[William Stevenson Meyer]]; the first of Indian origin was Sir [[Dadiba Merwanji Dalal]]. The High Commissioner enjoyed the same status as his counterparts from the British Dominions.<ref name="chapterxv"/> Upon Indian independence, the post was given the present designation.
