Itanagar: As the escalating tension in the Actual Control (LAC), the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has constructed a road to one of the last border posts along the LAC in remote Upper Subansiri District in Arunachal Pradesh.
The development came amidst tension in the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh, after Indian and Chinese armies clashed at Yangtse, on December 9 this year.
The new road was constructed up to Maza, a border post along the LAC in the Tawang district, the BRO revealed.
It should be mentioned that the Maza border post had witnessed a fierce battle between the two sides during India-China War 1962.
“Maza Connected…Project Arunank working relentlessly with single minded devotion and dedication today achieved connectivity to Maza, a strategic location along Northern Borders, on Road TCC- Maza in Arunachal Pradesh at 0330h on 28 Dec 22. BRO Karmyogis and Machinery worked round the clock through heavy rains, tough terrain and dangerous working conditions to achieve this feat. BRO is immensely proud to serve the Nation. Jai Hind! Jai BRO,”the BRO tweeted.
