Manali-Atal Tunnel Road
The festive spirit has led to a surge in holidaymakers hitting the roads to celebrate Christmas and New Year in popular tourist destinations, resulting in significant traffic congestion. Social media has been flooded with videos depicting long queues of vehicles along the Manali to Atal Tunnel route. Amidst the traffic chaos, some individuals have been spotted engaging in perilous car stunts, drawing ire from fellow tourists and online users.
One video captures a man driving with his car doors wide open, with another person hanging precariously from the opposite door. Fortunately, no collisions occurred during this risky maneuver. However, such stunts pose serious dangers, including the risk of the car becoming unbalanced, shaking at high speeds, or even causing the door to be ripped off. This reckless behaviour not only endangers the lives of those involved but also poses a threat to other commuters on the road.
