Along with reducing the time and distance to Elsie, the Lahul Valley, which remained cut off from the country and the world for six months a year, will now be connected throughout the year.

12 months 24 hours of work

For the last ten years, Afcon Strobeg and Smack Company were working for 12 months and 24 hours to complete this important tunnel under the supervision of BRO in the Pir Panjal mountain range at an altitude of ten thousand feet. It took almost eight years to get both ends of the tunnel.

It took three and a half years to cross just 600 meters due to leakage of the Seri drain. According to the engineers, the experience of these tunnels will be useful in the construction of the other four important tunnels to be built on the Manali-Leh National Highway.

But not only has the savings of 800 crores been saved by the efficient strategic change of the engineers, but that money will be used for the maintenance and betterment of the tunnel.
