JAMMU: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday criticised the Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir government for turning down two key tunnel projects on the Anantnag-Chenani corridor, saying the works were proposed to enhance connectivity in the mountainous Doda and Kishtwar districts of the union territory.
“The decision of the Public Investment Board (PIB) to turn down the proposals for the Singhpora-Vailoo and Sudhmahadev-Dranga tunnels was a betrayal of the aspirations of the people living in these remote areas.
“These tunnels were not just construction projects, but were essential for the socio-economic upliftment of Doda and Kishtwar,” senior PDP leader and former legislator Firdous Tak said in a statement. PTI
