Panggo, Nov 15: Deputy Commissioner Upper Siang, Talo Jerang, inspected the ongoing construction of the 82 km Panggo–Jorging Defence Road, being executed by NHIDCL through an EPC contractor. The road aims to provide vital last-mile connectivity to Tango-1 & Tango-2 Army and ITBP BOP locations along the border.
The strategically important project was formally commenced on 26 January 2025. Within just ten months, the contractor has achieved 15.500 km of formation cutting, including construction of breast walls and retaining walls at multiple locations—an exceptional feat considering the challenging hilly terrain of the region.
During the field inspection and interaction with project engineers, the Deputy Commissioner appreciated the satisfactory progress made so far. He also instructed the engineering team to strictly maintain quality standards at every stage of construction, including sub-grade preparation, GSB, WMM, DBM, and BC works.
The DC emphasised that the completion of this road will significantly enhance strategic mobility and improve accessibility to remote border areas. DIPRO
