Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Kargil War Memorial on the occasion of the 25th Kargil Vijay Diwas today. He paid homage to the soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty. In a social media post, the Prime Minister stated that it is a very special day for every Indian and a day to pay homage to all those who protect the nation.
Mr. Modi will also commence construction work for the Shinkun La Tunnel Project today. He will virtually carry out the first blast for the Shinkun La Tunnel Project. This project is crucial for improving connectivity to Leh, especially during adverse weather conditions. The 4.1-kilometer-long twin-tube tunnel will be constructed at an altitude of around 15,800 feet on the Nimu-Padum-Darcha Road, providing all-weather connectivity to Leh. Once completed, it will be the highest tunnel in the world. The Shinkun La Tunnel will not only ensure swift and efficient movement of armed forces and equipment but also foster economic and social development in Ladakh.
