NOTES

BRO has constructed 430 feet long bridge at Daporijo over the Subansiri River in Arunachal Pradesh’s Upper Subansiri district. The bridge will provide the movement of supplies to around 3,000 troops who are deployed along the Line of Actual Control with China.
The Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) began the construction of the bridge on March 17 and on April 14, the bridge was reported to be built successfully. Arunachal Pradesh’s CM Pema Khandu inaugurated the bridge over the video conference on April 20.
