Itanagar, Dec 13: The Director General, Border Roads, Lt. General Raghu Srinivasan called on the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh, Lt. General KT Parnaik (Retd.), at Lok Bhavan, Itanagar, on Saturday. They discussed the need for strengthening strategic road connectivity to border areas, ensuring regular maintenance, and establishing mechanisms for swift restoration whenever road communication is disrupted.
The Governor, on behalf of the people of Arunachal Pradesh, conveyed gratitude to the Border Roads Organization (BRO) for the successful execution of ten strategically vital roads and twenty-two bridges under the Arunank, Udayak, Vartak, and Brahmank Projects. These crucial assets were virtually inaugurated on 7th December by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, marking an important milestone in the State’s infrastructure development.
The Governor said that these national security infrastructure projects will significantly enhance military mobility, provide year-round access to remote and sensitive regions, and improve the operational readiness of our armed forces for quick response. At the same time, he said that the improved connectivity will bring substantial socio-economic benefits to local communities, fostering growth and improving livelihoods across the State.
The Governor also commended the BRO for its humanitarian and community-oriented initiatives, including medical outreach camps in remote villages and the creation of Play & Learning Rooms for the children of casual labourers engaged in road construction. Such efforts, he said, reflect the BRO’s deep commitment not only to national security but also to the welfare of the people it serves.
The Director General of Border Roads briefed the Governor on the progress and challenges of ongoing strategic projects and assured him that the BRO remains committed to delivering the highest quality roads and infrastructure for Arunachal Pradesh.
