Singhpora-Vailoo Twin-Tube Tunnel Project to Enhance Kishtwar-Anantnag Connectivity
The Rs 3,567 crore Singhpora-Vailoo tunnel project under Sinthan Pass aims to provide all-weather connectivity between Kishtwar district and Anantnag in Jammu and Kashmir. The twin-tube tunnel, each over 10 km long, will run beneath the pass, reducing travel time by about three hours and shortening the route by nearly 50 km. The 38.6-km corridor includes approach roads and safety features, with construction planned over five years under an Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract by NHIDCL.
