Q. Zoji-la Tunnel will connect which of the following places ?
a) Manali and Jammu
b) Manali and Lahaul Spiti valley
c) Srinagar and Leh
d) Srinagar and Jammu
Question from BPSC PT 70, 2024
The correct answer is: c) Srinagar and Leh
Explanation: The Zoji-la Tunnel is a significant infrastructure project in India aimed at improving connectivity between Srinagar (in Jammu and Kashmir) and Leh (in Ladakh). This tunnel is being constructed to provide all-weather connectivity, as the Zoji-la Pass, located at a high altitude in the Himalayas, often becomes inaccessible during winters due to heavy snowfall. Once completed, the tunnel will enhance transportation, boost economic activities, and improve accessibility to the remote regions of Ladakh.
