BRO constructs 25kilometrelong LakhanpurNajang high altitude road on IndoNepal border

| Wednesday | 16th January, 2019

#BRO is engaged in the construction of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra route. Portion between Tawaghat-Lipulekh pass via Ghatiabagarh is an important constituent,” she tweeted.“A very crucial milestone has been achieved on 15 Jan 2019 by connecting Lakhanpur to Najang by BRO. For our Army personnel, it is very important,” the official said.The Lakhanpur-Najang stretch is the lifeline of the entire region since it falls on the Mansarovar Yatra route.“The difficulty the project has been can be gauged from the fact that machines worth Rs 3 crore were damaged due to the terrain and ten labour causalities were recorded,” the BRO officer said. This connectivity is in Dharchula Sub- Division of Uttarakhand, where the only alternative route was a mule track passing below the new road alignment,” she said.“This will provide round-the-clock connectivity to our troops in Vyas valley,” the tweet added.A senior official in the BRO said that for Army to reach Najang area before the project commenced was nothing short of a ‘logistic nightmare’, as the route from the India side was inaccessible and taking the Nepal route was not feasible.“It used to take five hours for a porter to reach Najang using the bridges at the border, but now it is only a five-minute drive to Najang. Dehradun: The Border Road Organisation (BRO) accomplished one of the rare feats by completing a crucial 2.5 km long stretch connecting Lakhanpur to Najang, which lies at the Kailash Mansarover route near Lipulekh pass on international borer along Nepal in Pithoragarh district.The stretch is part of the Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra circuit, which the BRO is planning to complete it by December, 2020.The stretch, which is over 2400 metres in height, is considered to be one of the most difficult projects to complete.It took 10 years to construct the stretch, and BRO engineers have admitted that the narrow track and terrain acted as the biggest challenges to construct the road.Acknowledging the achievement, Defence minister, Nirmala Sitharaman tweeted that the road connectivity to Najang will ensure accesses to people of Malpa, Lamari, Buddhi, Chiyalekh, Garbhadhar, and Nabhidang in Pithoragarh district.““To all men, officers & the DG Border Roads Organisation congratulations & well done on Project Hirak.
