Sela Tunnel

October 4, 2023

The Sela Tunnel, a strategically crucial project in Arunachal Pradesh, is almost 96% complete and is expected to be inaugurated by the end of the year.
The total length of the project, including the tunnels, the approach and the link roads, will be around 12 km.
The Sela Tunnel has been excavated below the 4,200-metre (13,800 ft) Sela Pass, which is often closed due to snowfall and landslides.
The Sela Pass connects the Tawang district with the rest of Arunachal Pradesh.
It will provide year-round access to Tawang and other areas bordering China, enhancing the operational capabilities of the Indian Army.
Safety measures are being installed inside the tunnel, and the final touches are being provided.
