 Context: India’s longest rail tunnel T-50, part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL), was inaugurated in Jammu and Kashmir.

The tunnel, named T-50, spans 12.77 km and is considered one of the most challenging aspects of the project. Additionally, construction progress is being made on the Silkyara-Barkot tunnel project in Uttarkashi, with safety measures in place to mitigate risks and ensure worker safety.
