Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) on January 13 to inaugurate the Z-Morh Tunnel, a key infrastructure project designed to provide all-weather connectivity to the scenic hill station of Sonamarg.

• According to official sources, the Z-Morh Tunnel, a 6.5-kilometre-long, two-lane road tunnel between Gagangir and Sonamarg, will bypass the avalanche-prone Gagangir-Sonamarg road.
• The tunnel is named after the 'Z-shaped' stretch of road it replaces, drastically reducing travel time to just 15 minutes compared to hours along the previous route.
• A local resident expressed his gratitude, stressing the importance of the route for enhancing connectivity in winter.
