India inaugurates border tunnel near China
Indian engineers successfully completed the final rocky section of the "Zojila Tunnel," which is the longest tunnel to be excavated in India at over 13 kilometers in length, costing $712 million. The tunnel aims to improve connectivity between Srinagar in Kashmir and Leh in Ladakh, supporting the movement of goods and military forces year-round, especially during winter when roads are blocked by snow. It is expected to be opened to traffic in 2028, and is part of an extensive network of roads and railways connecting border regions.
