The Jawahar Tunnel, also known as the Banihal Tunnel, is a 2.4 km long tunnel located in Jammu and Kashmir. It was constructed to provide an all-weather road link between Jammu and Srinagar, ensuring connectivity between the Jammu region and the Kashmir valley even during harsh winter months when the mountain passes are blocked by snow. The tunnel bypasses the snow-covered Banihal Pass, making it a critical infrastructure project for maintaining year-round connectivity in this strategically important region. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they mention Simla or Leh, which are not connected by this specific tunnel.
