00:00I have spent a lot of time in this area, be it Sonmarg, Gulmarg, Gandharbal, Baramulla,
00:16Jammu and Kashmir.
00:47Friends, today is a very special day.
00:56Today, in every corner of the country, there is an atmosphere of celebration.
01:03From today itself, the Mahakumbh is beginning in Prayagraj.
01:11Millions of people are gathering there for a holy bath.
01:19Today, with Punjab, the whole of North India is filled with the enthusiasm of Lohri.
01:28This time is of many festivals, like Uttarayana, Makar Sankranti, Pongal.
01:43I wish all the people of the world a blessed festival.
01:54This time of the year, here in the valley, is the time of Chillai Kala.
02:05You bravely face this 40-day season.
02:13And there is one more aspect to this.
02:17This season also brings new opportunities for tourist destinations like Sonmarg.
02:27Tourists from all over the country are arriving here.
02:33They are coming to the valleys of Kashmir and enjoying your hospitality.
02:44Friends, today I have come to you as a guest.
02:55A few days ago, in Jammu, and as the Chief Minister said, 15 days ago,
03:05I had the opportunity to visit your Rail Division.
03:12This was a very old demand of yours.
03:16Today, I have got the opportunity to hand over the Sonmarg Tunnel to you.
03:28This means that another very old demand of Jammu and Kashmir's Ladakh has been fulfilled today.
03:44And believe me, this is Modi. He keeps his promises.
03:56There is a time for everything, and at the right time, the right things are going to happen.
04:09Friends, when I was talking about the Sonmarg Tunnel,
04:16this will make the lives of the people of Sonmarg, Kargil and Leh very easy.
04:30Now, during the snowfall, due to avalanches or landslides,
04:43the problem of the roads being closed will be lessened.
04:50When the roads were closed, it was difficult to go to the big hospitals from here.
04:58This is a big problem.
