The Z-Morh tunnel is equipped with cutting-edge technologies, ensuring real-time updates and seamless connectivity for users

The tunnel provides year-round connectivity between Gagangir and Sonamarg, significantly easing summer travel to Ladakh

This futuristic infrastructure not only enhances the travel experience but also sets a new standard for road connectivity in the region

Construction began in May 2015 but took nearly a decade to complete due to financial difficulties faced by IL&FS, the original concessionaire, which discontinued work in 2018

On Sunday, security forces intensified sanitization efforts and area domination exercises in Kashmir, ahead of PM Modi`s visit to inaugurate the strategically crucial Z-Morh tunnel in Ganderbal district

Security deployment has been heightened, with dozens of checkpoints set up across vulnerable areas to prevent any anti-national activities

The tunnel`s soft opening was conducted in February 2024. It holds immense strategic importance for national defence in Ladakh and strengthens the connection between the youngest Union Territory and the rest of India
