The Atal Rohtang Tunnel - This Changes Everything!

3rd October 2020 is a historic day for all Himachali's, especially for the people of Lahaul, Spiti and Manali - it marks the inauguration of the Atal Rohtang Tunnel - a 9Km long tunnel, burrowing deep under Friendship Peak. This tunnel will give year round access to the otherwise inaccessible Lahaul Valley, which remains shut during the long winters.
At the moment the future seems bright, yet uncertain. There is no doubt that Lahaul can develop into a world class winter sports destination - we just need a champion to spearhead things.

When I had visited Manali in 2017, every one was talking about this tunnel. More than any body else, this will immensely help local population. Looks very well built. Under earlier central government, the tunnel was being built at 300 meters/year. Then later the project was fast tracked to 1400 meters per/year. Just shows that if there is a will and intent is shown by the administration, India can build world class infrastructure projects. We need to build more of these infrastructure projects (tunnels, bridges, roads, hospitals, cities) which people can use. Don't build statues. Edit : I have nothing against building statues. But I am against using public tax payers money for it. Have you studied how other such projects are built around the world? Statue of Liberty was gift by French to US. French didn't use their tax payers money to build it. They issued bonds and asked people to buy those bonds to raise money. The same was done to raise the fund for building Effiel tower. Even in India Jatayu in Kerala was built like this. If the people feel passionate about statutes, let them show it by buying such bonds and raising money for it. It's not like you have to use the public money to create tourism opportunities. Let's assume that you live in a village with no water and electricity inspite of paying all the taxes. One fine day government says that instead of providing water Nd electricity, they will build a statue in front of your home, what will be your reaction?

I had been waiting for a vlog about the tunnel from Ronnie & Barty. And of course it surpassed my expectations, as did the interiors of the tunnel. Beyond the minor hiccup of tourists driving into Lahaul during the pandemic, what a blessing this would be for the people of Lahaul. I was smiling throughout the video and I bet everyone else that sees it will be. So beautifully captured. A skiing video from Lahaul! Now that's going to be a fidgety wait.

During Vajpayee government who proposed this project only few tree s were cleared .Since it was a project involving difficult terrain estimated cost of construction went higher from 500 to 900 crores. the Cabinet Committee on Security in UPA government cleared the Rohtang Tunnel Project. The work was awarded to a joint venture of AFCONS Infrastructure Limited, an Indian construction company of Shapoorji Pallonji Group, and STRABAG AG, Austria, in September 2009.[13] The drilling of the Rohtang Tunnel through the Himalayan ranges began on 28 June 2010 at the South Portal, 25 km (16 mi) north of Manali. Some of the anchoring and slope stabilisation work was subcontracted to Spar Geo Infra Pvt Ltd. like always Modi claimed credit during inauguration like he did with mars mission

@@624697 Same paragraph from Wikipedia doesn't share the full story. Why are you missing out on the fact that the project was due to he completed by 2014? Or that only 1300 meters of digging work was done by then? Or that the first company pulled out of the project due to pathetic support from the state and central government? Handing out a tender isn't the hard part, providing the engineers with logistical support and adequate clearances is. The side you're defending right now refused to give clearances needed to mine stones for construction material for 2 years because the State and Central Government were too busy playing "pass the file".

The headline about the Rohtang Tunnel brought me here. I've never been to Manali; but, back in the late '80s, while studying in Chandigarh, I had a couple of class mates from Manali and Keylong (Lahaul Spiti). From them, we heard stories about Rohtang pass, and how Lahaul Spiti used to be cut off for quite a few months each year. It's good to know that the tunnel is finally done, and the people of LS are now connected all year round. Kishan Chand Yospa (Manali) and Vaid (Keylong, LS), if you ever come to watch this video, a big hello from your PEC classmate (Rajendra Gurung).
