The raids take place a day before Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate the Chenab Bridge, the world's highest railway bridge and with it open the Vande Bharat train service connecting Kashmir to Kanyakumari, on Friday.

The Chenab rail bridge is a key part of the 272-km Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla railway link (USBRL) that will provide direct train connectivity to the valley.

The inauguration was originally scheduled for April 19 but was postponed due to bad weather. However, the deadly Pahalgam terror attack on April 22 led to a further delay.
