India's longest road tunnel to be ready by next month
The Chenani-Nashri Tunnel, the longest road tunnel in India, is likely to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February. The 9.2-kilometre tunnel will connect the Udhampur and Ramban districts in Jammu and Kashmir and reduce the existing road distance by around 30 kilometres upon completion. Notably, the ₹2,519 crore project has been delayed in the past.
