Khandu inaugurates Arunachal Niwas, fourth facility in New Delhi
Assam-Arunachal border delineation exercise concludes in Lower Siang
ITANAGAR, Aug 20: In order to restore surface connectivity to Yingkiong district and to the China border in East Arunachal Pradesh through Aalo, Project Brahmank of Border Roads Organisation has revised the completion date of the suspension bridge over Siyom river. The bridge completion date was set for September 30 but now has been moved to August 31.
This was done in view of the prolonged road blocks on two important axes leading to Aalo maintained by NHIDCL i.e. Likabali Bam-Aalo and Pasighat-Pangin-Aalo and in view of great suffering to the people of Aalo in shifting important goods and material to keep life going. BRO is also facing extreme difficulty due to heavy and continuous rainfall at the bridge construction site; however the site engineers have accepted this challenge and are determined to make the bridge operation by the revised deadline given by their Headquarters, the organisation said in a release.
