Answer 1

The correct answer is Gagangir & Sonmarg.

Key Points

Z-Morh Tunnel is a strategic infrastructure project in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir.
The tunnel is 6.5 km long and provides all-weather connectivity between Gagangir and Sonmarg.
It is part of the initiative to boost tourism and facilitate better road connectivity in the region.
This tunnel is especially significant as Sonmarg usually remains cut off during the winter months due to heavy snowfall.
