Security has been beefed up around the Z-Morh tunnel in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ganderbal district which is likely to be thrown open by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 13, officials said on Saturday.
The prime minister is likely to address a public rally after the inauguration of the tunnel in Gagangir in the Sonamarg area of the central Kashmir district, they said.
The security has also been strengthened in many areas of the valley, including Srinagar.
“Security has been tightened near the Z-Morh tunnel. Multi-layered security arrangements have been put in place and the PM’s security team, comprising SPG personnel, has taken over the venue,” the officials said.
They said the venue is now off-limits for the public.
