Srinagar, Apr 12 (KNS): Chairperson DDC Baramulla Safina Beig Wednesday welcomed the visit of Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkare to J&K and said the developmental projects reviewed by the Minister will boost tourism sector, people-to-people contact and create job opportunities to unemployed youth.
She said the construction of tunnels on Srinagar-Jammu highway will not only pave way to people's contact but will reduce the travel distance which gets hampered due to inclement weather. She said the road connectivity will lead to high footfall of tourists to J&K which however will generate manifold job opportunities to our unemployed youth.
"The completion of the Delhi-Jammu-Srinagar highway will bring much-needed relief to travellers and pave the way for significant tourism growth in the region," ChairpersonDDC Baramulla added.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelShe also added that completion of the 924-metre-long Banihal-Qazigund tunnel, which bypasses a nearly three-kilometer landslide and accident-prone area in the Ramban district, will be a game-changer for the region.
