Kiratpur-Manali National Highway gets approval for construction of the first tunnel: The central government has approved the construction of a tunnel on the Kiratpur-Manali National Highway in Himachal Pradesh. The tunnel will be built in Mandi, around six to seven miles away, and will be approximately two kilometers long. Once the tunnel is constructed, it will not be affected by natural disasters, allowing vehicles to travel continuously. This decision was made after the national highway suffered heavy damage during a calamity, prompting IT experts to recommend the construction of a tunnel. The NHAI conducted a second survey based on the report by the IT experts before deciding to build the tunnel.
Proposal sent to the central government for construction from Padhar to Bijnor in the Kiratpur-Manali National Highway: The NHAI has sent a proposal to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to convert the double-lane road from Padhar to Bijnor in the Kiratpur-Manali National Highway into a four-lane road. Currently, this section is the only part of the national highway that is not four lanes wide, while all other sections are already four lanes. The section from Padhar to Bijnor has already been prepared in double lanes, and land acquisition has been completed accordingly. However, the NHAI is now preparing to convert this section into a four-lane road and seeking permission from the central government.
The NH will be safe from natural disasters with the construction of the tunnel: According to NHAI regional officer Abdul Basit, the tunnel will be constructed between six to seven miles on the Kiratpur-Manali National Highway. The NHAI has received permission for this project. He stated that after the construction of the tunnel, the national highway will be completely safe from natural disasters. The two-kilometer-long tunnel will continue to facilitate the movement of tourists and other vehicles. The suggestion to construct a tunnel after natural disasters was put forward. Following the advice of experts, the NHAI has decided to build tunnels in highly dangerous areas. Approval has been granted for the construction of the first tunnel in Mandi after the disaster.

हिमाचल प्रदेश को फोरलेन के बाद पहली सुरंग मिल गई है। केंद्र सरकार ने कीरतपुर-मनाली राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग के निर्माण को मंजूरी दे दी है। इस सुरंग का निर्माण मंडी में छह से सात मील पर किया जाएगा और इसकी लंबाई दो किलोमीटर होगी। यह सुरंग कारों को आपदा के दौरान भी प्रभावित नहीं होने देगी। पहले इस मार्ग पर सुरंग का प्रावधान नहीं था, लेकिन आपदा के दौरान हुई क्षति के बाद सुर्वेक्षण के बाद इसका निर्माण करने का फैसला लिया गया है।
