A video of a group of revelers dancing inside the Atal Tunnel in Manali has gone viral on social media, sparking a range of reactions. 

The video shows a group of men, likely tourists from nearby states, dancing and doing push-ups to loud music while inside the tunnel, a well-known landmark.

Atal Tunnel—an engineering marvel! When it was being built, even top engineers from India and abroad never imagined that this strategic tunnel would one day double as a nightclub for the ‘most civilized’ people. Full music, open clothing, and stellar performance 😌 pic.twitter.com/MU2AmzeffX

The video quickly attracted mixed responses from netizens. Some criticized the group for creating a disruption, while others humorously pointed out that they were “running Himachal’s economy,” referring to the region’s reliance on tourism.

Here are some reactions to the viral video:

One user on X commented, “Atal club.”

Another said, “We run Himachal’s economy.”

A third user called for action against those dancing in the tunnel, stating, “They are blocking a strategic road.”

A second user added, “Waiting for the police to step in.”

One person suggested that this behavior should be made illegal and that strict action should be taken against these people, emphasizing the need for #FAFO (F*** Around and Find Out).

However, one person defended them, saying, “It’s fine as long as it’s not a crime and they’re not causing harm to civilians or military vehicles! A little fun is okay!”
