Kashmir Rail Link project: Indian Railways develops new tunnelling method to conquer challenging Himalayan terrain
Faced with the challenging Himalayan terrain, Indian Railways engineers have devised an innovative tunnelling method to overcome the construction obstacles in Tunnel-1, a crucial component of the 111-km-long Katra-Banihal section of the Kashmir rail link project.
This 3.2-km-long single tube tunnel, situated at the base of the Trikuta Hills in the Katra-Reasi section of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link Project, is considered one of the most formidable sections of the entire project.
