CONSTRUCTION OF 430 FEET BRIDGE IN COVID-19 TIMES BY BRO

Daporijo bridge on Subansiri River is a strategic link towards the LAC between India and China. All supplies, rations, constructional material and medicines pass over this bridge. Old Bridge developed cracks which could lead to a major catastrophe like on 26 Jul 1992 when a passenger bus fell off the bridge leaving no survivours. With the intervention of DGBR and CE Arunank expeditious sanctions were obtained from the MoD and Arunachal Government. The difficult and dangerous launch was completed in record time adhering to all COVID-19 precautions. The Bridge was inaugurated by Hon’ble CM Shri Pema Khandu who highlighted that BRO personnel showed dogged determination and successfully upgraded the bridge to class 40 justifying BRO Creates, Connects and Cares
