Lieutenant General Raghu Srinivasan, VSM, Director General of Border Roads, was on a three-day visit from December 1-3 to review the road construction works undertaken by Project Vartak in Guwahati, Tawang, and West Kameng areas, as per an official release.

In Guwahati, Harendra Kumar, AVSM, VSM, Additional Director General Border Roads (East), provided an update to the DGBR on various border road projects in the entire North Eastern Region.

During his visit to Tawang, the DGBR reviewed the progress of strategically important border roads through an aerial survey in the Nelya, Dhaula, and Hatonga areas of the Zimithang sector, followed by inspections in the forward areas of Lungro, Damteng, and Yangtse.

General Srinivasan met with Pema Khandu, the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, to discuss key issues related to future road infrastructure projects in the region. He also met with key officials from Tawang, including the MLA and the Deputy Commissioner of Tawang.

The General officer inspected the operations of the Sela Tunnel, where he was briefed on the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, a computer-based system used for real-time data monitoring. He also reviewed the functionality of safety features and the implementation of technical aspects in line with prevalent international standards.

Located at 13,000 feet, the Sela Tunnel is the longest bi-lane tunnel, ensuring all-weather connectivity between Guwahati and Tawang.
