Ramban: Commuters in the Ramban district of Jammu and Kashmir have been facing a major issue with shooting stones while traveling on National Highway-44. This problem has been a cause of great concern for the authorities as well as for the commuters who travel on this road frequently. However, there is some good news in store for the commuters as the 865 meters long Panthyal Tunnel on NH-44 is in its final stages of completion, which is expected to provide huge relief to the commuters.
The construction of the Panthyal Tunnel is being carried out by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and is a part of the four-lane widening project of the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway. The tunnel is expected to reduce travel time and provide a safer and more comfortable journey for commuters. The tunnel will also help in avoiding the dangerous shooting stones that are a common occurrence in the Ramban district.
Once the Panthyal Tunnel is operational, it will be a major relief for the commuters who travel on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway. The tunnel will not only provide a smoother and safer journey but also help in boosting the economy of the region by improving connectivity and facilitating the movement of goods and services.
Moreover, the Panthyal Tunnel will also serve as an important strategic asset for the Indian Army as it will provide a faster and safer route for the movement of troops and equipment to the northern border.
