Cover Story The Rs 3,700 crore Chenani-Nashri tunnel is one such project, in that, it’s India’s first tunnel that is deemed ‘safest’. The distance from Chenani to Nashri has now diminished to 10.9km (between two ends of the tunnel), instead of the existing 41km. Asia’s longest bi-directional tunnel has a 9.35m carriageway and a vertical clearance of 5m. Besides being an engineering marvel, it’s also an economic boon.
