The Z-Morh tunnel, located in the Ganderbal district of Jammu and Kashmir, will be inaugurated on January 13 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
It is a crucial infrastructure project aimed at ensuring year-round connectivity between Kashmir and Ladakh, especially the tourist destination Sonamarg, which was previously inaccessible during winters due to snowfall and avalanches.
Tourism and Economic Impact:
Hotel owners and local stakeholders express optimism, anticipating that the tunnel will boost winter tourism in Kashmir.
The development is expected to position Sonamarg on the winter tourism map, attracting more visitors and enhancing economic opportunities for the region.
Security and Logistics:
Comprehensive security arrangements are being implemented ahead of the PM's visit.
Infrastructure projects like the Z-Morh tunnel are part of broader efforts to improve accessibility and economic integration in the Valley and Ladakh.
