Kings and rulers built secret passages in their palaces or forts. In India, there are many such forts in which evidence of secret passages called tunnels have been found. Recently one such thing has been seen in the Delhi Assembly. Let's take a look at the secret ancient tunnels of India.
Recently a secret tunnel connecting the Delhi Legislative Assembly to the Red Fort has been unearthed. It has been speculated that this tunnel may have been used during the British period to avoid retaliation during the movement of various freedom fighters. Now the mouth of the tunnel has been found but the government does not want to dig any further.
Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel also told that everyone knew about the existence of the hanging room there, but after the 75th Independence Day celebrations, no attempt was made to investigate it. He further said that the government intends to convert the room into a shrine for the freedom fighters of India.

After investigation, six dungeons were found, which attracted the attention of people around the world. What was discovered was beyond belief and shocked everyone. Gold statues, necklaces and other treasure coins worth $ 22 billion were found in it.
A story of Lord Padmanabhaswamy is also associated with such a room, due to which it was never opened. It is believed that if the door is opened, natural panic will arise. Although there is no proof of this and it is quite unscientific but the Government of India has not ordered to open it.
