This incident also marks the first assault on a major infrastructure venture in the Jammu and Kashmir region, raising concerns about security and the strategic importance of the tunnel.

What is the Z-Morh Tunnel and why is it Crucial?
The Z-Morh tunnel is a 6.5-kilometer tunnel connecting the Sonamarg health resort with Kangan town in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district.
The tunnel will provide all-weather connectivity to Sonamarg, a famous tourist destination on the Srinagar-Leh highway.
The name “Z-Morh” refers to the Z-shaped road section near the tunnel construction site.
