Background
The responsibility for construction and maintenance of Balipara-Charduar-Tawang (BCT) Road has been entrusted to Border Roads Organisation (BRO). The 317.520 km long road connects West Kameng and Tawang districts of Arunachal Pradesh to the rest of the Nation. The axis is of immense strategic importance to the Armed Forces apart from being a lifeline for the civilian population as well as for the administration of West Arunachal Pradesh.

Arunachal Pradesh has a hydroelectric potential exceeding 50,000 MW. In order to tap the electric power generation potential of Tawang Chu River, NHPC had proposed two Mega Projects: Tawang I and Tawang II with a combined potential of 1400 MW in the Tawang Region.
