India will build 10 more tunnels to enable rapid military movements in the border areas. These tunnels will be in addition to the recently opened Atal tunnel in Manali, Himachal Pradesh, and the Zoji-la tunnel, which is under construction to connect Srinagar with Kargil and Leh.
India is going ahead with the tunnels project by dismissing China’s demand that construction activities along the border areas should be halted.
The Border Roads Organization (BRO) has started the initial steps for the construction of the tunnels.
India recently built 44 bridges in the areas bordering Pakistan and China to speed up vehicular movement.
