Zojila Tunnel to reach final breakthrough by June 9, 2026
Zojila construction endured extreme Himalayan conditions 
It's a win for connectivity, and for everyone who worked hard to make it real.
Building this tunnel wasn't easy. Teams faced freezing temperatures as low as -30 Celsius and dealt with at least five major avalanches.
Engineers used some smart techniques like the New Austrian Tunneling Method to dig safely through tricky Himalayan rock.
Over 1,200 workers (mostly locals) helped make it happen, showing a lot of grit and teamwork along the way.
Beyond just making travel easier, this tunnel is expected to boost tourism and the movement of goods and essential supplies in both regions.
