In addition, he declared that the Shinkun La Tunnel Project will begin construction in order to enhance Leh's weather connectivity overall, particularly in the severe winter months. The project entails constructing a 4.1 km twin tube tunnel on the Nimu-Padum-Darcha route at an elevation of roughly 15,800 feet.
When completed, the tunnel will be the world's highest altitude tunnel. It will guarantee the swift and smooth passage of military personnel and additional defense hardware across China's border, known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC), between india and China. Additionally, the project will support Ladakh's social and economic growth. Earlier in the day, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan said that the sacrifices made by the soldiers during the 1999 Kargil battle will "not go in vain". "It is going to continue to motivate and uplift the next generation of not only warriors but also youngsters of the country," he said. In addition, he delivered a statement from the defense ministry wishing all members of the armed forces, no matter their level, the best of luck.
According to the general, the tri-services are about to undergo significant organizational, structural, conceptual, and cultural changes. "The main goal of these reforms is to increase fighting effectiveness and maintain the armed forces' readiness for combat at all times. We need to be ready to give up on outmoded habits and embrace new ones. The top commander continued, "The form and contour of reforms must reflect the distinctiveness of the indian environment and difficulties.
