BRO to build Rs 2,000-cr tunnel in Lipulekh Pass

Hirak Vimal Goswami, Chief Engineer of Project Hirak, explained that BRO has designated the border road from Bundi to Garbiyang as a single lane in preparation for the proposed tunnel, while the remaining sections will have double lanes. The border road, commissioned in 2020, is currently undergoing black-topping and double-laning. The majority of the double-laning work has been completed, with only the formation-cutting work remaining on the five-kilometer stretch from the KMVN huts to the Lipulekh pass. Once approval is granted by the Central Command headquarters, this work can be completed within 100 days.
