Jalori pass tunnel project: Survey completed DPR under way
The Jalori Pass tunnel connecting Banjar and Anni valleys is witnessing steady progress. A team from the National Highways Wing of the Public Works Department inspected the Aut-Luhri-Sainj NH-305 for tunnel construction recently.
This comes after officials had earlier surveyed Ghiyagi and some other places for the construction of a tunnel. A spot on the Sajwad road at a distance of 6 km from Ghiyagi has been selected for the construction of the double-lane tunnel which would cost around Rs 990 crore. The tunnel will have a total length of about 4.2 km and will end at Khanag.
As per information the DPR (Detailed Project Report) will be prepared in about 10 months. The work will begin after land acquisition and the Forest Department’s approval.
