New Delhi: A tunnel has been found in the Delhi Assembly building. This tunnel is long from Delhi Assembly to Red Fort. It is speculated that this tunnel was used by the British for our work. This information was given by Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goyal.

"When I became an MLA in 1993, there was talk that there was a tunnel from the assembly to the Red Fort," said Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goyal. I tried to find evidence of that at the time but found nothing.

He further said that now we have got a mouth of this tunnel. However, the excavation of this tunnel will not be continued as all the roads of the tunnel have been closed due to metro projects and sewer construction.

The present assembly building was used as the central assembly after the capital Kolkata was shifted to Delhi in 1912. Later it was turned into a court in 1926, the British used this tunnel to bring the freedom fighters to the court to escape the wrath of the people. There is also a room here where the hanging was done. This room will be opened.
