Zojila Tunnel to add to Army’s manoeuvrability against Pakistan, China
Closure of Kashmir-Ladakh highway for six months during winters due to heavy snowfall restricts the movement of military vehicles, strategic Zojila Tunnel will resolve inaccessibility, enhancing military mobility
The construction of the Zojila Tunnel is set to significantly improve the Indian military's operational capabilities along the border regions. Currently, the primary highway connecting Kashmir and Ladakh remains impassable for half the year because of severe winter weather conditions. This seasonal closure creates major logistical hurdles for transporting troops and equipment to sensitive areas. Once completed, the tunnel will provide a reliable, year-round corridor for transit. This infrastructure development ensures that the armed forces can maintain a consistent presence and respond rapidly to security challenges throughout the winter months.
This project is strategically vital as it eliminates a significant geographical vulnerability that has historically hindered military mobility against neighboring threats.
