Leh 25 :- On the occasion of the 25th Kargil Vijay Diwas on Friday, July 26, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the Kargil War Memorial at around 9:20 AM and pay homage to the bravehearts who made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty. Prime Minister will also launch the Shinkun La Tunnel project by virtually carrying out its first blast, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a release on Thursday.

Shinkun La Tunnel Project consists of a 4.1km long twin-tube tunnel which will be constructed at an altitude of around 15,800 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, the PMO said.
