Says Chenab-Valley all-weather link will boost connectivity, strengthen bonds

Srinagar, Apr 15: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Wednesday expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari for ensuring the approval of Rs 9,779.42 crore for two major tunnel projects in Jammu and Kashmir.

Taking to the micro-blogging site X, the Apni Party President wrote, “Feeling jubilant and proud that the Union Government has approved Rs 9,779.42 crore for two major tunnel projects that will provide all-weather connectivity between the Chenab region and the Kashmir Valley. This is truly an incredible development and a matter of great satisfaction.”

He further said, “These projects will enable faster, safer, and more reliable travel between Doda, Kishtwar, and Udhampur in Jammu, and Anantnag in the Valley. The proposed tunnels from Sudhmahadev (Udhampur) to Dranga (Doda), and from Singhpora (Kishtwar) to Vailoo (Anantnag), will substantially reduce distances and spare people from difficult and time-consuming travel.”

“These are not just tunnels made of concrete and steel. They are pathways that will connect people, bring regions closer, bridge hearts, and strengthen bonds between communities. This has been a long-cherished aspiration of the people,” Mr Bukhari added.

Expressing gratitude to the Prime Minister and the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, the Apni Party President said, “On this development, I extend my gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Hon’ble Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Shri Nitin Gadkari for ensuring that this long-cherished dream of the people of Jammu and Kashmir is fulfilled.”
