The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has established connectivity on the 298-km Nimmu-Padam-Darcha road in Ladakh, creating a third axis to the region alongside the Manali-Leh and Srinagar-Leh routes. Utilizing the frozen Zanskar river in January, the BRO efficiently moved equipment and personnel to expedite work. The construction of the Shinkun La tunnel will further enhance all-weather connectivity, boosting defense preparedness. This achievement, despite challenging terrain, marks years of hard work, benefiting both defense and economic development in the region.
