Amidst the ongoing border dispute with China, the Border Roads Organization (BRO) is rapidly engaged in infrastructural development works in the border areas. These constructions will give more strength to the Indian military force. To deal with any situation, a befitting reply can be given to the enemy by reaching the most inaccessible places easily. The government has planned to connect all the border villages of Arunachal Pradesh with good connectivity roads. Apart from this, BRO is also undertaking the construction of two important tunnels in the Tawang and West Kameng districts of Arunachal Pradesh which will become a game changer for the Indian security forces in the security of the international border.

Brigadier Raman Kumar, Chief Engineer of 'Project Vartak' told that BRO is doing all these works under Project Vartak. According to the official, the Nechiphu tunnel at an altitude of 5,700 feet is being constructed on the Balipara-Charduar-Tawang (BCT) road. It is a 500 m long D-shaped, single tube double lane tunnel. The construction work of the Sela Pass Tunnel in the West Kameng district is nearing completion and will be completed in the next five-six months.
