II) It is India`s longest transportation railway tunnel, measuring 11.2km long.
Choose the correct option.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
"The Banihal–Qazigund Tunnel was renamed as the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Tunnel."
False. The Banihal–Qazigund Tunnel refers to a road tunnel, but it has not been renamed after Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. The tunnel that was renamed in his honor is the Chenani–Nashri Road Tunnel, which is officially called the Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Tunnel
"It is India`s longest transportation railway tunnel, measuring 11.2 km long."
True, but with a specification:
The Banihal–Qazigund Railway Tunnel, also known as the Pir Panjal Railway Tunnel, is indeed currently India`s longest railway tunnel, measuring approximately 11.2 km
