BRO’s Longest Bridge In Arunachal Inaugurated

[Major Shaitan Singh]

The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has built a 720-meters-long bridge in Arunachal Pradesh. The Digaru bridge, linking Lohit and Dibang valley, was inaugurated by Minister of State for Defence and Chairman, Border Roads Development Board (BRDB) Dr. MM Pallam Raju at a function in Lohit district yesterday.

Nice move we need to improve the infrastructure in in Arunachal Pradesh for sure.

 

[Shardul.....the lion]

We need to develop infrastructure in arunachal pradesh, ladakh and uttaranchal at a rapid pace.

^^ very correct

we need a 4 lane highway most

It is not always of benefit to construct roads in AP as it would suit the Chinese more due to them having roads and rail links right up to our border but they will find it difficult on our side if they were to invade with tanks etc.

BRO works in very tough conditions. They deserve a pay hike. Its appraisal time.

you are right anyway about pay hike

YOu are the smartest Indian I seen in this forum.

Man, it was a statement to project difficult conditions for the BRO, its time to reward them.

Thats very defensive posture. If we dont have rods on our side, then how will we transport our troops to the border. Air lifting is not cost effective especially for the logistics involved.

Isn't AP South Tibet belonging to PRC?

Yes we need roads, rail but we must ensure it is at the right location and for our needs not always having them right up to the border which will be more of a aid to China if war does break out.

The BRO is likely to undertake the feasibility study of another nine tunnels in J&K, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim. India had stopped the road building activities in regions close to China border after the 1962 war with a view that better road network could help the Chinese forces to spread in case of an invasion. But that doctrine has been changed and several road development works are being undertaken by the BRO, which are funded by the ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH).

The BRO would take up construction of two tunnels, totaling 25.4km on Balipara-Charduar-Tawang road that would improve connectivity to Tawang region throughout the year. Supply of troops in Tawang region is being met by helicopters. Two more crucial tunnels have been planned in Sikkim, which are located only 19.3 and 24.6 km distance from the line of control (LoC).



At the right location of course we must improve connectivity on our side.

Bro. do you really think China will depend on India`s infrastructure in war conditions??

If we are not able to guard our roads & bridges in war time, then it`s better we give up before it`ll break...

Actually AP is a mountainous region. If they come by road then they will be an easy target.

Right now China has road and rail links right up to our border now if we do the same on our side totally like they did it will create a network which can be used if war breaks out. The best approach would be not to have it right up close to our border with China but say 10-15km south.
