Salient Points of PM Modi’s address at the inauguration of Chenani – Nashri Tunnel in Jammu & Kashmir on 02 Apr, 2017

• The tunnel inaugurated today is world class and it is matching the best standards

• I am very happy to be in Jammu and Kashmir today

• This tunnel is environment friendly and this tunnel will help in the fight against global warming

• Youth of Jammu & Kashmir worked very hard in the making of the Chenani – Nashri Tunnel. I congratulate them for this

• Some misguided youngsters are pelting stones but see here, youth of Kashmir are using the same stones to build infrastructure

• Another advantage of this tunnel is that tourists will benefit due to this

• Every Indian wants to see Jammu and Kashmir. The beauty of this land can draw so many people. Tourism will also bring economic growth

• Youth of Kashmir have a choice to select one of the two paths- one of tourism the other of terrorism

• The path of bloodshed has not helped any one and will never help anyone

• I want to specially thank CM Mehbooba Mufti. The Centre announced a package for the state and work has begun on the same

• Whenever I come to Jammu and Kashmir, it is natural to remember the vision and work of AtalJi

• Our sole Mantra is development and the way we want to achieve that is through Jan Bhagidari. We want to involve the youth.
