Distance between Manali to Leh shortens about 46 kms

BRO expedites work on Atal Tunnel near Manali:

The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has expedited construction work on the 8.8-km Atal Tunnel near Manali to complete the project in time. The tunnel is to be thrown open for traffic on the Manali-Leh highway by September this year. It would reduce the distance between Manali and Leh by 46 km.

It is a strategically important project in the region which would be accessible to residents of the Lahaul valley all round the year. Besides, the route would be used by the Army to provide essential supplies to soldiers near the border in Ladakh.

Ever since the bloody clash in the Galwan valley between India and China, pressure is building on the BRO to complete the project in time.

Sources told The Tribune that during the lockdown, the construction work of the tunnel got affected, but now, the BRO had expedited it. The civil work was almost complete while electrification and mechanical work was going on a war footing.

On June 16, the Director General of the BRO had visited the site of the tunnel to review the progress. In April this year, the Defence Ministry had also asked the BRO to expedite the work. It is expected that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would dedicate the ambitious project to the nation as soon as it is completed. During an election rally at Mandi last year, he had said that he was waiting eagerly for the completion of the ambitious project, which would provide all-weather connectivity to the residents of the Lahaul valley.

The tunnel is being built beneath the Rohtang Pass on the Manali-Leh highway. The residents of the Lahaul valley are cut off from the rest of the state for more than six months every year because of the closure of the pass that receives heavy snowfall.

After the construction of the tunnel, the travel time will be reduced by three hours for light vehicles and six hours for goods-carrier vehicles between Manali and Leh.
