The Zojila tunnel is important for national security as well as for development and tourism in the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh as it will provide round-the-year connectivity, Union Minister Anurag Singh Thakur has said.
During his visit to the tunnel, which is envisaged to provide all-weather connectivity to Ladakh, officers said that work on it is in full swing and the NHIDCL is geared up to continue construction even in winter months.
