Which tunnel are the workers working in?
Preliminary investigations revealed that the workers who were attacked were members of the Z Mod tunnel construction team. It connects Jagangir valley to Sonamarg in Ganderbal district of central Kashmir. Let us tell you that the work of this tunnel was done by a construction company called APCO from Uttar Pradesh. In fact, the tunnel is expected to be completed by 2025, so work is underway here in full swing.
