Atal Tunnel

Context

Atal Tunnel was inaugurated at Rohtang at an altitude of above 3,000 metres in Himachal Pradesh.

Key Points

  • The 9.02 km-long tunnel, built by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), is the world’s longest highway tunnel. It connects Manali to Lahaul-Spiti valley.
  • The tunnel, also significant from the military logistics viewpoint, will provide better connectivity to the armed forces in reaching Ladakh.

Brahmaputra Tunnel

Context

The Central government has given in-principle approval for the construction of an underwater tunnel in the Brahmaputra river in Assam.

Key Points

  • The tunnel will connect Gohpur (NH-54) with Numaligarh (NH-37) in Assam.
  • The tunnel will be of strategic importance as it will provide round the year connectivity between the North-Eastern states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
  • The National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHAIDCL) has roped in the US-based firm Louis Berger for the same.
