Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the Kargil War Memorial tomorrow on the occasion of the 25th Kargil Vijay Diwas. He will pay homage to the soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty. Mr. Modi will also virtually carry out the first blast of the Shinkun La Tunnel Project. This 4.1-kilometre-long twin-tube tunnel will be constructed at an altitude of around fifteen thousand 800 feet on the Nimu-Padum-Darcha Road to provide all-weather connectivity to Leh. Once completed, it will be the highest tunnel in the world. Shinkun La tunnel will not only ensure swift and efficient movement of our armed forces and equipment but also foster economic and social development in Ladakh.
