Amid continued tension with China, the government approved the construction of the strategically-crucial 4.1-km tunnel under the forbidding Shinkun La, on the border between Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh, for ‘alternate’ all-weather connectivity to Ladakh. The traffic movement in the twin-tube tunnel, which will not be vulnerable to long-range artillery shelling or missile firings either by China or Pakistan, at an altitude of over 16,500 feet on the Manali-Darcha-Padam-Nimu axis will ensure troops and heavy weaponry can be swiftly moved to forward areas. The tunnel under the Shinkun Pass (la means pass), to be constructed by the Border Roads Organization at a cost of Rs 1,681.5 crore, will be completed by December 2025.
