The foundation stone of the tunnel was laid by then UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi on June 28, 2010. During the BJP regime, the project was renamed as Atal Tunnel and inaugurated by PM Modi in 2020.

At the time of inauguration, the plaque relating to the laying of stone by Sonia Gandhi was not reinstalled, leading to a war of words between the BJP and the Congress. Pratibha was at Keylong to review the central development schemes.
