New Delhi, June 29 (SocialNews.XYZ) Project Brahmank of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) celebrated its 16th Raising Day on Monday at Ranaghat, Arunachal Pradesh, marking 15 years of development of strategic infrastructure and connectivity in the region, said a Defence Ministry official.
The Project is responsible for the development and maintenance of strategic road infrastructure across the Siang, East Siang, West Siang, Upper Siang and Shi-Yomi districts of Arunachal Pradesh, as well as parts of Dhemaji district in Assam, the official said in a statement.
The Project is entrusted with the maintenance and development of 811 km of roads and approximately 86 bridges, ranging from culverts to major steel and arch bridges.
Some of its major engineering achievements include the 100-metre steel arch bridge over Siyom Nallah and the 165-metre PSC bridge over Simang Nallah on the Along–Yingkiong Road, said the statement.
During FY 2025–26, Project Brahmank achieved significant milestones with the inauguration of 13 bridges having a cumulative span of 390 metres across the Siang and Siyom Valleys and the blacktopping of 61 km of roads to NHDL specifications. The Project has also developed helipads to improve connectivity and strengthen strategic infrastructure in the region.
As part of the 16th Raising Day celebrations, various social outreach and welfare activities were organised at Headquarters and Task Force locations. Sainik Sammelans, troop interactions and Bada Khana/Mess functions were also organised to mark the occasion and foster camaraderie among personnel.
Raised on June 29, 2011, at Ranaghat, East Siang District, Arunachal Pradesh, the Project became fully functional on December 3, 2011, said the statement.
Despite difficult conditions characterised by rugged terrain, frequent rainfall, poor connectivity and limited infrastructure, the Project has been instrumental in providing strategic and operational connectivity to the Armed Forces while bringing remote villages into the national mainstream.
