Coming soon: Winter access to Lahaul-Spiti

Digging work for the strategic 8.8km tunnel at Rohtang pass in Himachal Pradesh, which will give all-weather access to the Lahaul-Spiti region, will be almost complete on Wednesday, after a delay of about three years. ​​The Rohtang tunnel, expected to be opened in 2019, will be the longest tunnel in India.
