NEW DELHI: Union Minister of Roads, Transport, and Highways Nitin Gadkari said on Tuesday that people will be able to reach Delhi from Srinagar in just eight hours after the completion of various infrastructure projects being carried out in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that the government is undertaking several major infrastructure projects in Jammu and Kashmir that would improve connectivity in the region.
The Union Minister made the remarks while addressing an event organized here at the India International Center to congratulate the actors and director of the film The Kashmir Files.
“We are building Asia’s longest tunnel in Zozila between Kashmir and Ladakh. The Atal Tunnel on the Leh-Manali route has already reduced travel time.
Works on the Srinagar-KatraDelhi expressway are also underway and in the future people will be able to reach Delhi from Srinagar in just eight hours,” Gadkari said. He added that more people would visit Kashmir if there was a good infrastructure.
