Sinthan Pass Tunnel Project to Enhance All-Weather Connectivity Between Kishtwar and Anantnag
The Rs 3,567-crore Sinthan Pass Tunnel project aims to establish a 38.6-km all-weather corridor between Chhatroo in Kishtwar district and Vailoo in Anantnag district, Jammu and Kashmir. Featuring twin uni-directional tunnels over 10 km each, the tunnel will bypass the challenging high-altitude Sinthan Pass route, improving year-round connectivity. Scheduled for completion in five years under an EPC contract, the project will reduce travel time by about three hours and enhance safety with emergency facilities and cross-passages.
