The newly-constructed Sanjauli-Dhalli tunnel, built at a cost of Rs 47.36 crore, was inaugurated by Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu here on Monday.
Taking a jibe at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Sukhu said the construction work of the 154.22-metre tunnel was going on at a snail’s pace under the previous government in the hill state and the Congress government expedited it and the structure was completed within a year.
The state government has directed all departments to ensure a time-bound completion of every project, Sukhu was quoted as saying in a statement issued here.
