Video footage of the event shows PM picking up an empty water bottle and other garbage during the inspection of the tunnel. The officials appear to have been caught by surprise on the occasion.</p>

The main tunnel connects Ring Road with India Gate via Purana Qila Road passing through Pragati Maidan. The six-lane divided tunnel has multiple purposes, including access to the huge basement parking of Pragati Maidan. A unique component of the Tunnel is that two cross tunnels below the main tunnel road have been constructed in order to facilitate the movement of the traffic from either side of the parking lot.</p>
