A shocking video showing a group of men dancing, playing loud music, and even doing push-ups inside Himachal Pradesh’s Atal Tunnel has surfaced online, drawing strong reactions from netizens. The viral clip, which appears to have been recorded by fellow travellers, shows a group of revellers treating the strategic tunnel as their personal party zone.
Netizens React: Criticism and Sarcasm in Equal Measure
The video has sparked a mixed response from social media users. While some condemned the act as reckless and disrespectful, others sarcastically pointed out that tourists contribute significantly to Himachal Pradesh’s economy.

One user mockingly wrote, “Atal Tunnel—an engineering marvel! When it was being built, even top engineers from India and abroad never imagined it would become a nightclub for ‘civilized’ people.”

Another outraged user demanded action, stating, “Horrible! No wonder Indians are seen as a nuisance abroad. They don’t respect their own country either. Identify them and put them behind bars!”
Legal Implications: Photography in Tunnel Also Prohibited
Apart from the group’s antics, some users pointed out that recording videos inside the Atal Tunnel is prohibited, meaning the person who filmed and uploaded the clip also violated the law.
Authorities are yet to comment on the incident, but with the video gaining traction, many are calling for strict measures to prevent such reckless behaviour in critical infrastructure zones.
