New Delhi, April 20 (IANS) Union IT and Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Thursday shared a video, shot on a 'Make in India' iPhone, where he is seen explaining to Apple CEO Tim Cook how the country is transforming the way people travel.
The minister showed Cook the image of a bridge, which is taller than Eiffel Tower, that connects to Kashmir.
