Khandu acknowledged the BRO's pivotal role in strengthening national security while supporting socio-economic development in border regions. He noted that, despite operational difficulties, the organisation continues to make consistent progress on road construction, which is vital for both defence preparedness and improving civilian mobility.
Officials highlighted that roads in Tawang enhance defence logistics, facilitate disaster response, and support local economic activities, particularly tourism and trade. Improved connectivity in these border areas ensures faster movement of troops and equipment and better access to remote communities.
The Chief Minister stressed that timely completion of projects remains critical to maintain strategic readiness and meet civilian needs. The state government continues to coordinate closely with the BRO and other central agencies to expedite infrastructure works in frontier districts.
Past efforts by the BRO in Arunachal Pradesh have included restoring landslide-affected roads, constructing all-weather connectivity, and expanding critical transport links. These projects are part of a broader plan to strengthen infrastructure in the Northeast, including highway development and tunneling projects aimed at maintaining year-round connectivity across challenging terrain.
