Homi Chatterjee who has designed the tableau, says it showcases the economic changes which Lahaul-Spiti will witness in the long run
All those countrymen and tourists, who could not make it to Kullu-Manali바카라 웹사이트this time to get first-hand바카라 웹사이트experience바카라 웹사이트of바카라 웹사이트the world라이브 바카라 longest Rohtang Tunnel, now will have an opportunity to watch the landmark at the Republic Day parade바카라 웹사이트in New Delhi.
An artistically designed tableau of the 9.01km long Rohtang Tunnel, located at a height of 10,170 feet is among the tableaus rigorously chosen by the ministry of defence.
The tunnel built by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) in the easteran Pir Panjal ranges of the Himlayas, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on바카라 웹사이트October 3.
The Rs 32,000-crore tunnel바카라 웹사이트,which has been named after former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, since it바카라 웹사이트 been his dream project, provides an all-weather connectivity to the tribal population in Lahaul Spiti ending their isolation from the바카라 웹사이트 world, particularly during the winter season for six to seven months.
The only connectivity that바카라 웹사이트they had for decades was 13,058 feet Rohtang Pass –which had to be closed in November because of heavy snowfall, avalanches and snowstorms.
Confirming the state government proposal on바카라 웹사이트tableau, additional chief secretary (languages, art and culture) R.D. Dhiman said, “Completion of바카라 웹사이트 the Rohtang Tunnel and its opening바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트by Prime Minister has become a historic moment not alone for the people of Lahaul-Spiti but also Leh-Ladakh. The tunnel is an economic gamechanger for the entire population of Lahaul-Spiti and Pangi, a바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트landlocked region바카라 웹사이트and cold deserts of Spiti.
Homi Chatterjee, a noted artist, who has designed the tableau, told바카라 웹사이트바카라 that beside artistic detailing of the majestic tunnel ---- a masterpiece of top engineers, he has worked hard to showcase바카라 웹사이트future changes and economic transformations which the Lahaul-Spiti is going to witness in the years to come as result of opening of the tunnel.
“ I have particularly picked up ancient Hindu temple --- Triloknath located at Udaipur ,42km from Keylong. This is the only temple in Asia where not only Hindus but Buddhists also worship 바카라 웹사이트– a fact that makes it unique for a message of unity in diversity in India also Dev-Bhoomi (Himachal Pradesh),” he said.
Son of legendary sculptor and painter (late) Sanat Chatterjee, Homi said though “the Chatterjee” family, including his brother Him Chatterjee, also an artist of world repute, has been involved in designing of the tableaus since 2013, this one will be his pet project.
“For six to seven months the people of Lahaul-Spiti used to remain cut off from the world. Those who attempted to cross Rohtang pass (heavily under snow) either lost their lives or had providential escapes. But now the valley will see a transformation in socio-economic rebuilding, tourism and also promotion of local art, culture and handicrafts,” he said.
The most significant aspect of the Rohtang Tunnel is its strategic importance to provide all-weather and safe connectivity to the defence forces, both guarding the LAC and LOC.
