Panel green-signals under-river tunnel across Brahmaputra; returns 2 projects in J&K citing deficiencies

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 16 April 2025
An inter-ministerial panel has recommended the construction of India's longest under-river tunnel across the Brahmaputra in Assam, costing approximately Rs 14,900 crore. This project will significantly reduce travel time and enhance connectivity to northeastern states. However, the panel has deferred the proposal for two tunnels in Jammu and Kashmir due to high costs and the availability of alternative routes.
