BRO builds strategic bridge in Arunachal Pradesh

strategic Daporijo bridge over Subansiri river
The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has recently completed the construction of a strategic Daporijo bridge over Subansiri river in Arunachal Pradesh in a record time of 27 days. The construction was carried out with all the precautions against COVID-19. As this is a strategic Line of Communication in Arunachal Pradesh both for military activities and general population, the project was built on a fast tracked basis. The construction work started on March 17, by 23 BRTF and was commissioned recently. The bridge will now have the capability to allow heavier vehicles to pass as it has been upgraded from class 24 tons to class 40 tons. This will not only help the Indian Army's requirements but also helps in the future infrastructure development requirements of the Upper Subansiri district. The Chief Minister of Arunachal, Pema Khandu, through a video conferencing inaugurated the bridge, which is also a strategic link towards the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between India and China as all supplies, including rations, constructional material and medicines pass through it.
