Work begins on Zojila Tunnel
Work on the Zojila
Tunnel in J&K began with
ceremonial blasting. The
tunnel will provide allweather
connectivity
between Srinagar valley and
Leh (Ladakh plateau) on
NH-1, and will bring about
an all-round economic and
socio-cultural integration of
Jammu & Kashmir (Now
UTs of J&K and Ladakh). It
involves construction of a
14.15 km long tunnel at an
altitude of about 3,000 m
under Zojila pass (presently
motorable only for 6 months
in a year) on NH-1
connecting Srinagar and Leh
through Dras and Kargil.
