Z-Morh tunnel is just a gift, Gadkari told how these 4 projects will transform Kashmir, China will also be restless
Srinagar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi (PM Modi) on Monday inaugurated the strategically important 6.5 km long Z-Morh tunnel in Sonamarg area of ??Jammu and Kashmir. During this, Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari informed the people about many works being done regarding infrastructure in Kashmir. He said that this day is very important for Jammu and Kashmir due to the completion of the construction work which started in 2012 and its start today. We are working on more big projects for the development here.
Nitin Gadkari informed that we are building Zojila tunnel by connecting it with Z-Morh tunnel. Which is 14 km and its approach road is 18 km. It will cost Rs 6800 crore to prepare it. He said that I am happy to tell you that when we issued its tender for the fifth time, at that time we had fixed its price at Rs 12 thousand crore, but now we are going to build it in only 6800 crores. That is, we saved about five thousand crores in this.
He said that we studied about this tunnel for a year. This is the highest tunnel being built in Asia. With its construction, it will now take three and a half hours less to reach Leh from Srinagar. This is an all-season connected road.
The Road Transport Minister said that we are building four corridors between Jammu and Srinagar by spending 50 thousand crores.

The third corridor is Surankote-Shopia-Baramulla-Uri. This 303 km project is worth 10 thousand crores. We will complete it by 2027. This will make it easier for the people of Surankote to Poonch and Rajouri to travel from Srinagar and there will be direct connectivity from Jammu to Baramulla. Its 197 km DPR has started and soon we will start work on it.
Fourth Corridor - Jammu to Akhnoor-Surankote-Poonch
