PM to inaugurate J&K's Banihal Qazigund tunnel tomorrow: 7 points about the all-weather tunnel

Hindustan Times  

Banihal Qazigund road tunnel, a key developmental project in Jammu and Kashmir, is all set for unveiling by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday during his visit on the occasion of 'Panchayati Raj Diwas'. The tunnel has been built at a cost of over ₹3100 crore and features state-of-the-art twin tubes, exhaust system and several other features to make it an ‘all-weather’ transportation route. Here’s what we know about J&K's Banihal Qazigund Road Tunnel 1. It will bypass the Jawahar Tunnel and Shaitan Nalla, both of which turn a nightmare during heavy snowfall and are often closed due to extreme conditions during winters causing bottlenecks in the strategically important road linking Kashmir to the rest of the country.
