07 Mar 2025 CW Team

The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) conducted the inaugural blast on Monday to mark the commencement of construction for the Bhimber Gali Tunnel, a key part of the Jammu-Poonch National Highway project. This tunnel, spanning 1.1 km, is a critical infrastructure development in the Pir Panjal region of Jammu and Kashmir.

A defence spokesperson highlighted the significance of this milestone, stating that the project will enhance connectivity by reducing the distance between Rajouri and Poonch by 10.8 km. The tunnel is part of a larger 16.1 km-long project stretching from Kalali in the Rajouri district to Bhataduria in the Poonch district.

The inaugural blast was executed by BRO’s Project Sampark Chief Engineer, Brig Neeraj Madan, and Ministry of Road Transport and Highways Jammu Regional Officer, A M Prasad. A ceremonial ‘puja’ (prayer) was conducted before the event, attended by officials from the civil administration, emphasizing the collaboration between BRO and district authorities.

Brig Madan reiterated the BRO’s commitment to advancing road infrastructure in remote and strategic areas. He stated that the Bhimber Gali Tunnel will serve as an alternative axis for troop movement and general transportation, contributing to both national security and economic growth.

The project builds on BRO’s recent breakthroughs, including the completion of the 700-meter Naushera Tunnel in January 2024. With continued efforts to enhance road networks in difficult terrains, BRO remains dedicated to strengthening regional infrastructure for both defence and civilian purposes.
