Atal Setu is a 592m (1,942feet) cable-stayed bridge on the Ravi River near Basholi Town, District Kathua, commissioned on 24 December 2015 by former Defence Minister Manohar Parrikkar.

The bridge is named after former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and was opened one day before his birthday.[1] [2]
