The Jammu and Kashmir Government has said that a proposed tunnel on the Mughal Road between Zaznar and Chattapani to keep the road open round the year, was under survey. A tunnel is proposed on the 84-km Bafliaz-Shopain road between Zaznar and Chattapani to keep the road open round the year, the State Minister for Roads and Buildings, Abdul Majeed Wani, said in the Legislative Council in Jammu on March 25.

He added that the proposed tunnel, once completed, will reduce 24 kms of road distance besides keeping the road open round the year. Wani said the road is avalanche prone and BRO has taken the matter with Snow Avalanche Study Centre to get the feasibility report.
