India has achieved a historic milestone with the breakthrough at the Zojila Tunnel, a major infrastructure project. The Zojila Pass previously cut off Ladakh from the rest of the country for three to four months every year due to heavy snowfall and avalanches. This vulnerability affected military logistics, troop mobilisation, and replenishment of resources for Kargil, Siachen Glacier, and Eastern Ladakh LAC.
The tunnel changes this equation by providing all-weather connectivity, ensuring round-the-year movement and boosting strategic mobility. Additionally, the local population gains direct road access to Kashmir without relying on expensive air travel. This development parallels the strategic progress seen with the Sela Tunnel in Arunachal Pradesh.
