Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today lay the foundation stone of the Zojila tunnel, which is Asia's longest bi-directional tunnel in Jammu and Kashmir. The Rs 6,800 tunnel will provide all weather connectivity between Srinagar, Kargil and Leh as this route remains snow-bound for a large part of the year. The 14.2 km tunnel will also cut down the time taken to cross the Zojila pass from 3.5 hours to just 15 minutes.
During his two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir, PM Modi will also inaugurate a hydro-electricity project and participate in the 100th birth anniversary celebrations of Ladakhi spiritual leader Kushak Bakula.
