Bro Uttarakhand

The much-awaited breakthrough and the rescue of the 41 workers trapped in the Silkiyara Tunnel since November 12 has moved the focus back on the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) - the resilient force behind the Himalayan operation.

Border Roads Organisation on Sunday said a valley bridge near the India-China border, nine km ahead of Malari village here has come under threat due to the rapid flow of the river as the monsoon fury continued over the northwestern Himalayan region.

A six-km-long tunnel will be constructed between Bundi and Garbiyang on the Ghatiabagar-Lipulekh road in Uttarakhand to make the way to the last border post of the Lipulekh pass on the India-China border smoother, a senior BRO official said.

The central government on Tuesday put up a signboard at the entrance of Uttarakhand's Mana village along the Line of Actual Control or LAC reading 'India's first village'. It is a tourist destination located near Badrinath in Chamoli district.

A car, with passengers on board, was pulled to safety by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) after it got stuck in a landslide in Uttarakhand.

The Gangotri National Highway has been blocked near the Sunagar area of Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi district after a massive landslide due to incessant rainfall.

The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has constructed a 200-feet bailey bridge on Joshimat-Malari road across the Rishiganga river, restoring connectivity to the 13 border villages in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district affected by last month's flash floods.

Helicopters have landed heavy road-building machinery in the tough Himalayan terrain of Uttarakhand's Johar Valley to help speed up construction of the strategic Munsiyari-Bugdiyar-Milam road near the India-China border, an official said.

With the commissioning of a bridge in Nabhidhank, the BRO has completed a 31-km stretch of the strategically significant 75-km long Ghatiabagar-Lipulekh motor road along the India-China boundary in Pithoragarh.

Thirteen kilometers downhill from Badrinath, deep in the thick forests of Lambagarh, the roar of the surging Alaknanda river is only disturbed by the continuous whine of bulldozers.

At least 3000 pilgrims remain stranded near Uttarakhand's Badrinath after landslides on Wednesday night. Landslides were reported from three places in the area.
