PM Modi At Z-Morh Tunnel Inauguration PM Modi Inaugurates Z-Morh Tunnel

The Z-Morh Tunnel, strategically located at an altitude of over 8,650 feet, stands as a vital lifeline in the Himalayas, connecting the Kashmir Valley with Ladakh. Inaugurated by the Prime Minister, the tunnel is part of a broader initiative to improve infrastructure and accessibility in Jammu and Kashmir. This engineering marvel, constructed amidst challenging terrains, bypasses avalanche-prone areas, ensuring year-round connectivity for civilian and military transport. Less than three months after a tragic terrorist attack on tunnel workers at Gagangi, the inauguration paid homage to the lives lost. The tunnel is expected to significantly boost the local economy by promoting tourism, exemplifying Jammu and Kashmir's journey from "terror to tourism." Military logistics in the region will also benefit immensely, enhancing India's strategic capabilities along its northern borders. As part of a larger network, including the Zoji-La Tunnel slated for completion by 2028, the Z-Morh Tunnel symbolizes resilience, progress, and hope for a brighter future in the region.
