Panel green-signals under-river tunnel across Brahmaputra; returns 2 projects in J&K citing deficiencies
Wednesday, 16 April 2025 An inter-ministerial panel has recommended the construction of India's longest under-river tunnel across the Brahmaputra in Assam, costing approximately Rs 14,900 crore. This project will significantly reduce travel time and enhance connectivity to northeastern states. However, the panel has deferred the proposal for two tunnels in Jammu and Kashmir due to high costs and the availability of alternative routes.
ASSAM FLOOD: Severe rainfall continues to wreak havoc across the North-East, with Assam and Manipur among the worst affected. Flash floods and landslides have claimed 36 lives so far, while over 5.5 lakh people have been impacted. Major rivers, including the Brahmaputra, are flowing above the danger mark, inundating large parts of the region. Relief and rescue operations are underway, but thousands remain stranded as key infrastructure, including roads and bridges, suffers heavy damage. Stay tuned for ground reports, official updates, and state-wise flood alerts.
