Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Monday inspected the strategically important Zojila tunnel which will reduce travel time to Ladakh where the China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is aggressively pushing its territorial claims along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
It could be one of the very few development projects in India to be completed ahead of its deadline which was fixed for November 2026.
Gadkari, along with a 12-member Parliamentary Consultative Committee on Road Transport and Highways, took stock of the ongoing work at the Zojila tunnel, Asia’s longest tunnel to establish all-weather connectivity to Ladakh.
