Heroic Road Restoration: Rescue Amidst Landslides in Arunachal Pradesh

In a dramatic event caused by intense rainfall on Wednesday evening, five landslides near Jang town, Arunachal Pradesh, blocked crucial routes including the Jang Bypass and the Balipara-Charduar-Tawang Road. This disruption halted traffic, temporarily stranding tourists and locals. However, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) quickly intervened, clearing the blocked roads and restoring traffic flow by midnight, according to PRO Defence from Guwahati.

Despite encountering adverse weather and harsh conditions, the dedicated team of the 42 BRTF under Project Vartak, BRO, sprang into action. They provided stranded tourists with essential supplies such as food and water while working tirelessly to clear the landslides. Their relentless efforts ensured that all affected areas were opened, and normalcy was resumed in a remarkably short time frame.

The timely intervention by BRO not only facilitated the delivery of relief to civilians but also ensured the uninterrupted passage of military convoys and essential supplies. The organisation, embodying its ethos of 'Shramena Sarvam Sadhyam,' remains committed to maintaining essential connectivity across the challenging terrains of Arunachal Pradesh.
