Road construction in border areas.
Snapshot
  • While the BRO’s annual budget between 2008 and 2016 varied from Rs 3,300 crore to Rs 4,600 crore, it reached Rs 8,050 crore in FY 2019-2020.
    With focus now on improving infrastructure in border areas, the budget for FY 2020-2021 is likely to be Rs 11,800 crore, the Raksha Mantri has said.
Despite Chinese aggression in eastern Ladakh, which led to the first casualties along the Line of Actual Control in over four decades, and a raging pandemic that threatened to bring work on critical border infrastructure to a halt, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) appears to have improved its performance between January and November 2020 over the same period last year.
The BRO, which is responsible for the construction and maintenance of road infrastructure along India’s borders, has completed around 1,993 km of formation cutting work, executed nearly 2,341 km of surfacing work and construction of 2,683 metres of bridges, and undertook 2,508 km of resurfacing work and Rs 1,819 crore of permanent works during this period.
