New Delhi: The Prime Minister Narender Modi on Saturday shared that he is eagerly waiting for his visit to Sonmarg which is scheduled on January 13 where the PM will inaugurate the Z-Morcha tunnel in central Kahmir’s Ganderbal.
PM Modi in a post on X, while reacting to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s post wrote that he is eagerly awaiting for his visit to Kashmir.
Notably the Chief Minister of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday visited the Sonmarg and took a review of preparations ahead of the PM’s visit.
Omar in a post on X, shared “Visited Sonmarg today to review preparations for PM @narendramodi ji’s visit on Monday. The inauguration of the Z-morh tunnel will open Sonmarg to tourism all year round. Sonmarg will now be developed as a great ski resort. The local population will not have to leave in winter, and the travel time to Kargil/Leh from Srinagar will also reduce.”
In a reply to Omar post PM Modi shared, “I am eagerly awaiting my visit to Sonmarg, Jammu and Kashmir for the tunnel inauguration. You rightly point out the benefits for tourism and the local economy. Also, loved the aerial pictures and videos!”
PM Modi will officially inaugrate the vital Z Morh Tunnel on January 13.
The Z-Morh tunnel will guarantee year-round connection between Kashmir and Sonamarg when it opens to the public on January 13. The construction of the 6.5-kilometre tunnel on the Srinagar-Leh highway in the Ganderbal district’s Gagangir sector is worth Rs 24 billion.
The tunnel will enhance connectivity from Srinagar to Sonamarg and, eventually, to Ladakh. It is also strategically crucial to the military forces.
