"Loose soil conditions" are affecting progress on Tunnel-1 of the Jammu Ring Road, NHAI told Divisional Commissioner Vikas Kundal when he inspected the project on Saturday, 7 November 2026.
What was inspected
Kundal visited Tunnel-1 and Tunnel-2, which connect Kheri with Jagti, along with Deputy Commissioner Jammu Minga Sherpa and NHAI Project Director Rajiv Kumar. He also inspected Balicharan Road towards Satwari, the Tribune reported.
What he asked for
He directed the agencies to "expedite work on all ongoing components".
What is missing
No completion date was reported, and none should be assumed. For Jammu's students and commuters, the ring road matters because it is meant to move through-traffic away from the congested city, but the report gives no length, cost or opening date, and we have not stated any. When NHAI publishes a timeline, JammuBeat will follow up.
