Srinagar: Ahead of the inauguration of the much-awaited Z-Morh tunnel, Nasir Aslam Wani, Advisor to Chief Minister on Monday said that Sonamarg can emerge as the best ski-destination.

Talking to the reporters, Wani as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said that the local people from Sonamarg were dreaming about this tunnel for a long time and the tourism players too were waiting for this project.

“With this inauguration, Sonamarg will become the all-season tourist destination,” he said, adding that the slopes here are best and has the potential to become the best ski-resort.
