The passage located in West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh will be one of the longest tunnels
PUSHING for greater connectivity in the Eastern Sector of the Line of Actual Control with China, the construction work by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) on strategically important Sela Tunnel is in advanced stages.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is scheduled to inaugurate the smaller Nechifu Tunnel, which is on the same road route to Tawang, ahead of the Sela Tunnel.
Sources told this newspaper that around a month's work remains for the Sela Tunnel.
The Sela Tunnel Project is located in the West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh.
Once complete, it will provide all-weather connectivity to Tawang.
The project comprises Tunnel 1, which is a 980 m long single tube tunnel and Tunnel 2, which is a 1555 m long twin tube tunnel. Tunnel 2 has one bylane tube for traffic and one escape tube for emergencies. It will also be one of the longest tunnels to have been constructed above altitude of 13,000 feet.
