Explanation
Both statements are correct based on official records and the context of the tunnel's inauguration. Atal Tunnel, located in Himachal Pradesh, is 9.02 km long and was certified by the Guinness World Records as the world's longest highway tunnel at an altitude above 10,000 feet (3,048 meters). While longer tunnels exist at lower altitudes, it holds the record for its specific elevation category.
The tunnel is constructed in the Pir Panjal range of the Himalayas, passing under the Rohtang Pass. Built by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), it provides all-weather connectivity between Manali and the Lahaul-Spiti valley, reducing the travel distance by approximately 46 km and travel time by 4 to 5 hours. It is a strategic asset for both civilian transport and national defense.
