| Project Detail : | The Centre has approved 19 key infrastructure projects in Jammu and Kashmir, with a total investment of Rs 10,637 crore. This announcement was made jointly by J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha. Among the highlights are two major tunnels aimed at enhancing year-round connectivity. The nine-km Pir Ki Gali tunnel, to be constructed at a cost of Rs 3,830 crore, will connect Kashmir with the Pir Panjal region via the historic Mughal Road, which is typically closed during winters due to snow and avalanches. The second tunnel, costing Rs 3,330 crore, will span seven km at Sadhna Pass, improving connectivity to the Karnah region in Kupwara near the Line of Control (LoC), while also reducing travel time. The Centre has also sanctioned the 28-km Zaznai-Shopian section of NH-701A at a cost of Rs 853 crore. Additionally, three flyovers have been cleared for Srinagar and surrounding areas: a Rs 700-crore four-lane flyover from Lal Chowk to Parimpora, a flyover at Panthachowk for Rs 105 crore, and a four-lane flyover at Magam costing Rs 445 crore. Another major project is the Trehgam-Chamkote Road in Kupwara, estimated at Rs 966 crore. |
