Shimla: When Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates and throws open the Atal Tunnel for the general public on Saturday, he will have not only provided a means to make travel closer for the masses, but also strategically brought the Line of Actual Control closer.
The all-weather Atal Tunnel reduces the distance between Manali in Himachal Pradesh and Leh by 46 kilometres, bringing the travel time down to 4-5 hours
Modi, accompanied by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, will inaugurate the tunnel at Rohtang and later attend public gatherings at Sissu in Lahaul Spiti and at Solang Valley.
