BRO constructs strategic road in remote Arunachal district

Our Correspondent

Itanagar: As a pre-Christmas gift to the people of Damin in Kurung Kumey district of Arunachal Pradesh, the determined and resolute team of Project Arunank under the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has completed the remaining 28 kilometers of the strategic Koloriang-Damin road. The road was completed in the month of November last while last year the organization completed 30 kilometers of the road from Bodh Tree junction near Sarli.

Damin was considered as one of the remotest parts of the state as a journey to Damin involved an arduous foot trek, a communiqué informed here on Friday.

Opening a motorable line of communication up to Damin was a challenging task even for the organization which is known for its apothegm ‘BRO creates, connects and cares’, simply due to frequent disruption of ‘young and unsettles’ Himalayan strata by perennial rainfall. Nevertheless, the achievement made by BRO has now ended a long agony for the people of Damin, the communiqué said.

Gram Chairperson of Damin Block Bamang Yakap has expressed his gratitude to BRO for its accomplishment saying, “The people now can enjoy transport facility and no longer have to travel on foot for fetching mundane items.”

The connectivity up to Damin by BRO will prove to be a cornerstone in the development of the remotest part of the state when the road will become the part of Arunachal Frontier Highway in the days to come.

Senior officials at the BRO confirmed their resolute commitment to make the road ahead to Huri trafficable within this fiscal, which would involve launching a 200 meter Baily Bridge over Kumey River.
