BRO to invest Rs 1,400 cr to build roads in Arunachal

The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is planning to invest around Rs 1,400 crore for different projects in Arunachal Pradesh this year. The BRO is already building roads worth Rs 1,000 crore in the state, its additional director-general for Northeast PKH Singh said.

“BRO plans to invest Rs 1,300-1,400 crore in the state this year of the total allocated Rs 20,000 crore,” he said. Forest clearance for roads worth at least Rs 2,500 crore is pending with the state government, he said, adding that he was working to get those soon.

“I will meet Forest Minister Mama Natung, Chief Secretary Dharmendra and Development Commissioner (East) PS Lokhande to seek their help as many stretches are within the right of way (RoW) of the proposed BRO roads for which land compensation has been paid,” he said.

Some of these are very old projects, such as the Balipara-Chardwar-Tawang (BCT) Road, Elephant Road and Sessa Road in East Kameng district, he said. While the single-lane Elephant Road has been completed, the work for Sessa Road is pending over forest clearance, he added.
