Director General of Border Roads Organisation (BRO), Lt Gen Rajeev Chaudhry, visited Kurung Kumey district and inspected the road and bridge construction works being carried out there as part of Project Arunank, along the line of actual control (LAC) in Huri sector, an official said on Sunday.

Under Project Arunank, set up in 2008, construction and maintenance of roads are being undertaken by the BRO in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam.

Chaudhry, during his visit on Saturday, held interactions with the jawans and officers of the BRO, the army and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, besides some locals, in the Damin area of the district.

“The local population and gaon burahs expressed happiness over the road construction work, which, once completed, will connect Huri with the rest of the country,” Brig AS Kanwar, the chief engineer of Project Arunank, stated.

The road link will boost the socioeconomic condition of the local people and improve their living standards, he noted.

Arunachal shares a 1,126-km-long border with Tibet-China. 

It is to be mentioned that Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is entrusted with development of a large number of infrastructure projects in North eastern states with strategic importance to offer connectivity to remote and inaccessible areas of the Army while giving impetus to forward connectivity and socio-economic growth of the people.
