BRO inaugurates bridge in Arunachal

The Border Roads Organisation

(BRO) has inaugurated a bailey bridge in Arunachal Pradesh's Upper Subansiri district nearly 10 months after five personnel were killed during its construction, officials said on Thursday.

The 180-feet-long bridge over the Subansiri river on the Nacho-Tama Chung Chung road, inaugurated on Wednesday, will facilitate troop movement to forward locations along the India-China border, they said.

The bridge will also give a boost to tourism and socio-economic development of the local populace, the officials said.

Several other BRO personnel were injured in the accident that took place on May 11 last year.
