After Sela tunnel, focus shifts to other key border infra projects

Hindustan Times  

The completion of the Sela tunnel project in Arunachal Pradesh to boost military mobility and logistics support for deployed forces in the Tawang sector has brought into focus several other key projects being implemented by the Border Roads Organisation, which is at the centre of India’s forward infrastructure push, in the country’s remote corners. “BRO has completed 330 infrastructure projects at a cost of ₹8,737 crore in the last three years, and significantly improved the strategic mobility of our armed forces along the northern borders,” he said. The successful completion of the Sela tunnel reflects positively on BRO’s capabilities and expertise in executing complex infrastructure projects in challenging terrain and adverse weather conditions, said military affairs expert Lieutenant General Harpal Singh, who headed BRO during 2018-20 and retired as the army’s engineer-in-chief a year ago. Defence minister Rajnath Singh, who remotely laid the foundation stone of the Nyoma airfield in September 2023 while inaugurating 90 other projects, had then said the airfield, one of the world’s highest, would be a “game-changer” for the armed forces while stressing that timely execution of projects in far-flung areas had become “the new normal of New India.” BRO has completed the construction of 59 of the 61 strategic roads assigned to it near the Chinese border in Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, as previously reported.
