Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said on Monday that thousands of lives have been lost for the progress of the region.

 

Speaking at the inauguration event of the Z-Morh tunnel, he reflected on the sacrifices made by the people of J&K over the past 35-37 years.

 

“Unfortunately, in the last 35-37 years, thousands of people here sacrificed their lives for the progress of this country, for the development of Jammu and Kashmir,” Omar said.

 

While referring to Prime Minister Modi, Omar said, “Prime Minister Sahib, your presence here today at the inauguration of this tunnel is a testimony to the fact that those people who carry out these attacks, those who don’t want the betterment of this country, those who don’t want to see peace and progress in Jammu and Kashmir, can never succeed.

 

He said in an assertive tone that “those powers will always face the defeat here. We have and we will keep fighting and defeating them,” he said.

 

On the occasion, J&K’s Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha, reiterated similar words and said the newly inaugurated Z-Morth Tunnel in Sonmarg would serve as a significant boost not only for the tourism sector but also for the Indian Army’s strategic operations.

 

He said, “People here should talk about tourism rather than terrorism. The Sonamarg tunnel will be a game changer, providing year-round connectivity that will attract more tourists and also strengthen our Army’s logistical support in the region.”

 

He also highlighted the improved infrastructure, like the Sonamarg Tunnel, would facilitate easier access to scenic destinations in Kashmir, potentially transforming the region into a top-tier tourist destination.

 

Furthermore, he said that the inauguration of the tunnel would improve India’s strategic mobilisation of the forces all year round, making sure that the country’s forces are ready to defend the nation whenever needed.

 

Apart from the civilians, this tunnel is a strategically important piece of infrastructure that allows Indian forces to transport troops and infantry, along with critical military hardware and supplies, to the eastern Ladakh region.
