Once opened, the Rohtang tunnel will provide all-weather connectivity to remote border areas of Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh which are otherwise cut off from the rest of the country during winters.
The decision to build the tunnel, set to be the world's longest above an altitude of 3,000 metres, was taken in June 2000 when Vajpayee was prime minister.
Modi says at a rally he will inaugurate Rohtang Tunnel after 23 May, Congress calls it a ‘lie’. Builder BRO says it's unlikely to meet its year-end deadline.
Research paper, however, finds lowest indebtedness level among Muslims at 12.3% & highest among Hindus at 14.9%. Overall national financial inclusion level at 87.2%, indebtedness at 14.7%.
Fresh details of operation conducted by IAF, Army have come out in gazette notification giving citations of those who were awarded Vir Chakra for their bravery.
On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
The Indian Drama,is to fool the dumb Indians, and to impress their White Masters. The state of Indians is so pathetic, that they ,in 2020,are still mesmerised, by so-called Infra Projects – which can be blown to bits by the Chinese Precision Guided Ammo – assuming PlLA jets do not bomb it !
The Indian ADS which shot down their own Chopper in Bugdam – will use Indian ADS toprotect their tunnel from Chinese Missiles ? Also ,Indians have no ability to strike similar Chinese Infra , in Tibet – except by sending their Jets, deep into Tibet – which will be shot down, by Chinese PLAF and ADS. In any case, Chinese have many tunnels and many logistics options – while India has ONLY 1 TUNNEL..
Y have the Indians Built this tunnel ? Each tunnel has an entry and an exit,and an approach and an exit road.In the winters, there would be snow,ice and avalanches, and so,the roads will be unusable or will slow down,the logistics, and in some cases, the roads will be closed down.
Then,the Tunnel covers less than 15%,of the distance,to the target destination.dindooohindoo
Therefore,if the PLA bombs the entry OR the exit of the Tunnel,or the Approach road to OR beyond the tunnel
or the 100s of Kms of road, after the tunnel – THE TUNNEL WILL BECOME UNUSABLE ! If the road is bombed then the chances of a landslide, are almost 100% ! And if the approach roads ,to the landslide, are also bombed, no crane will reach the location, and the cranes will have to BE AIRLIFTED ,by specialised Choppers which will take time to organise,and will be sitting ducks, even for MANPADs.
So Y did the Indians build the tunnel ? To save time ? For what ? In war, Time has the proxy of “Inventory”.If time is a vagary of war, then you carry more inventories (of men ,munitions, spares and food).If a war breaks out,the Tunnel will be destroyed, by the PLA – it cannot be defended, by Indian ADS.
Also,in matters of military logistics,in a war scenario – COST is NOT a Factor – and in any case,saving a few hours in logistics will NOT yield any material reductions in road freight – but will save the air freighting (by C-130s or Choppers)
Even if a surge is planned by the Indians – it is best done by air – as time is of the essence. Of course the aircargo will be shotdown – but it is easier to blow up the stationery target,id.est.,The Tunnel,and its matrix of impotence.
The Chinese say that the Indians took 15 years to make the tunnel. The Chinese must understand that the Hindoo God Rama (whose wife ran away,with Ravana- the King of Lanka),took 12 years to make a bridge of stones, to Lanka – and the bridge was MADE ENTIRELY BY APES.
EVEN AFTER 5000 YEARS,THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE CAPABILITIES OF THE INDIANS.
