The Sela Tunnel, situated at an elevation of 13,000 feet, will provide all-weather connectivity to Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh. The tunnel is strategically important due to its proximity to the Line of actual control (LAC), an official said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to embark on a day-long visit to Arunachal Pradesh on March 9 to inaugurate several development projects including the Sela Tunnel which will provide all-weather connectivity to Tawang bordering China.
An official on Wednesday said that PM Modi will dedicate the tunnel to the nation at a function to be held at Baisakhi in West Kameng district.
He will also lay the foundation stone for around 20 development projects, before proceeding to neighbouring Assam, the official said.
