Zoji La tunnel to open for Army by Sept '24

Authorities are on an overdrive to build a strategic Zoji La tunnel in Kashmir to reduce travel time to Ladakh, where 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 fixed for November 2026. Officials say the tunnel will be opened for movement of the armed forces in September 2024 in case of any emergency.
“The raw tunnel will be available for defence purposes in September 2024 if the PLA created any disturbance along the border,” said Harpal Singh, project manager of Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited (MEIL), which is tasked with building the tunnel.
The tunnel would reduce the travel time on Zoji La from 3.5 hours to 15 minutes, Singh said. During the harshest winter, when temperatures went down to - 30 °C, Singh said nearly 1,000 employees of the MEIL were working in the remote mountains to complete the work.
“Even bears would go into hibernation for four months here but our men continued the work in the harsh winter,” Singh said. “We are increasing our workforce to expedite the work further. With India’s long border with two adversaries, China and Pakistan, this tunnel will help Army defend the country better,” he said.
