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.

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.
