Sonmarg, September 27

National Highway and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) on Monday said the connectivity of the Z-Morh tunnel, dug from two sides through the rocky hills of Kashmir to link Srinagar with Sonmarg, has been established.

NHIDCL Executive Director Gurjeet Singh Kambo said Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari would drive through the tunnel on Tuesday as a symbolic inauguration. The tunnel will be officially thrown open to the public in December 2023, he informed. Gadkari will review the progress of the project. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
