Srinagar, July 29: The Union government has moved forward with plans to provide year round road connectivity to the border regions of Tangdhar and Gurez by initiating key tunnel projects aimed at reducing winter isolation. The project is expected to improve access to Tangdhar, which remains cut off during heavy snowfall. He also clarified that Gurez and the Marwah, Warwan region are not part of the National Highway network, so tunnel construction there does not fall directly under the National Highways programme. Under the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission, new health units have been approved for Gurez, including facilities at Dawar, Sheikhpora and Bhagote. For the Marwah, Warwan region, the Centre has sanctioned a Block Public Health Unit at Community Health Centre Marwah, an Ayushman Arogya Mandir at Margi and a six bed prefabricated facility at Primary Health Centre Afti.
