Reasi’s District Magistrate, Vishesh Mahajan on Thursday conducted a comprehensive security review of critical railway infrastructure in the district, including bridges, tunnels, and labour camps.
Railway authorities called it an important step in the ongoing efforts to expand and improve rail connectivity in the region
In a significant development, a 3,943-meter-long tunnel (No. T-06) of the Sevoke-Rangpo Rail Project (SRRP), located in Kalimpong district of West Bengal, achieved a breakthrough on Tuesday, according to a senior railway official.
This was stated by Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu while presiding over a meeting of the Public Works Department (PWD) here on Wednesday.
The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) on Tuesday achieved breakthrough for the 2.79 km-long Sungal Tunnel on the strategic Akhnoor (Jammu district) - Poonch highway that links the militarily sensitive areas along the Line of Control (LoC) with the Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK).
While inspecting the newly inaugurated tunnel, Modi picked up an empty plastic water bottle and a few other items that had been thrown away. He was seeing the paintings made of the inner wall of the tunnel.
Traffic has been stopped along the national highway.
The road route for the Amarnath pilgrimage (Pathankot--Jammu--Srinagar highway) passes through Samba near where the tunnel has been detected. The highway is few kilometres from the IB.
Seventy five riders from BRO, including Indian Army and General Reserve Engineer Force personnel, will cover approximately 20,000 km over the next 75 days.
In an unprecedented move, a part of the TBMs is to remain buried, below the site of the August 2019 mishap, for times immortal. Generally, when a TBM makes a breakthrough, its cutter head is brought out by cutting the wall and placing a cradle.
