Atal Tunnel sees record tourist footfall

The Atal Tunnel, Rohtang, has experienced unprecedented tourist numbers recently, with over 2.5 lakh vehicles crossing it in May alone. This surge has transformed the tunnel into a primary draw for visitors to Manali and Lahaul. However, the increased popularity has also led to significant traffic congestion and parking challenges. Local authorities are actively working to manage the heavy rush and ensure smooth traffic flow.
