Kargil Vijay Diwas: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Ladakh on Friday to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas. He will pay homage at the Kargil War Memorial, commemorating India's victory over Pakistan in the 1999 war.

The prime minister will visit the war memorial around 9:20 am and pay homage to the martyrs, an official PMO statement said.

In addition, Modi will also conduct the groundbreaking of the Shinkun La Tunnel project virtually. The project aims to provide all-weather connectivity to Leh and, once completed, will be the world's highest tunnel, the Centre noted.

What is the Shinkun La Tunnel Project?

The project aims to construct a 4.1 km long twin-tube tunnel, which is to be constructed at an altitude of around 15,800 feet on the Nimu Padam Darcha Road.

The 298-kilometre Nimu-Padam-Darcha road is a strategic asset for India as it is shorter than the Manali-Leh and Srinagar-Leh routes. Lt Gen Raghu Srinivasan, Director General of Border Roads, had said in January that with the start of construction of the Shinkun La tunnel, the third all-weather route to Ladakh would be established.

The Center hopes that the tunnel project will contribute to the efficiency of army movements and economic growth in the region.

Tunnel project to strengthen connectivity

Connectivity facilitated by the crucial road network is expected to boost economic development in the Zanskar Valley, the Centre said. The Border Roads Organisation will take care of the construction of the tunnel.

The Kargil War with Pakistan culminated after the two successful operations conducted by the Indian Air Force: Operation Safed Sagar and Operation Vijay of the Indian Army. On July 20, an event commemorating this milestone was also celebrated at the Bhisiana Air Force Base.
