Omar Abdullah posted, went to Sonamarg today to take stock of the preparations for PM Narendra Modi’s visit. Modi ji’s visit is on Monday, he will inaugurate the Z-Morh tunnel here. With the inauguration of this tunnel, Sonamarg will be open for tourism throughout the year, Sonamarg will now develop as a great ski resort. The local population will not have to shift to another place in winter and the travel time from Srinagar to Kargil and Leh will also be reduced. At the same time, Modi replied to this tweet, I am eagerly waiting for my visit to Sonamarg in Jammu and Kashmir for the inauguration of the tunnel. You have correct information about the benefits of tourism and the local economy.
Let us tell you, Z Mod Tunnel connects Gagangir in Ganderbal district to Sonamarg. Its length is 6.4 km. When there is heavy snowfall in Kashmir in winter, it becomes difficult to reach Sonamarg. Now, through this Z Mor tunnel, Sonamarg will be connected to other parts of Kashmir in every season. Along with this, the army will also benefit greatly from the construction of this tunnel. Army can use this route to reach Leh and Kargil in bad weather.
