Dedication of the Atal Tunnel will boost tourism activities in the area and strengthen the economy of the State, he added.The Chief Minister said that even in the wake of Covid-19, the Prime Minister made an effort to visit Himachal Pradesh personally to inaugurate this tunnel, which simply showed his love and affection for Himachal Pradesh and its people.He said Covid-19 prevented the state from organising an impressive function which could have been attended by the people from across the state but all arrangements have been made to telecast this programme live in all 3,226 gram panchayats of the state.Modi inaugurated the 9.02-km long Atal Tunnel from its south portal.
