BRO Advances Strategic Infrastructure in Eastern Ladakh through Innovative Tunnel Projects

The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is gearing up to revolutionize connectivity in eastern Ladakh, focusing on building tunnels and high-altitude passes for year-round access. A top officer announced that the plans are well advanced, marking a milestone in strategic infrastructure development.

Project Himank, driven by the BRO, aims to ensure reliable road communication to key strategic areas. According to Col. Deepak Palande, director of works and resources, the initiatives will comprehensively support defense operations, ensuring flexible movement of logistics and military resources.

Despite challenges such as limited working seasons and complex geological conditions, the BRO is leveraging new technologies like pre-cast construction to expedite progress. With several record-breaking high-altitude passes under development, these projects are vital for national security and regional connectivity.
