Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today inaugurated three bridges constructed by the Border Roads Organisation in Himachal Pradesh.
Rajnath virtually inaugurated 63 bridges, including three in Himachal Pradesh, from Kungyam in eastern Laddakh constructed by the BRO in eight states.
Rajnath appreciated the role of the BRO in providing road connectivity to border areas of the country. He said that better connectivity was vital for the security of the nation.
Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur thanked the minister for dedicating the bridges in the border states. He said that three bridges inaugurated in Himachal Pradesh are vital, as they provide connectivity to far flung regions where paramilitary forces are deployed at the China border.
He said that the Pangi bridge on the Powari-Pooh road constructed at a cost of Rs. 4.27 crore would provide round the year connectivity and would enhance logistic support to boost the morale of the troops.
Thakur said that the Kiran khud bridge built at a cost of Rs 5.55 crore would play an important role in maintaining supply lines to troops, besides ensuring an uninterrupted line of communication.
