BRO Reopens Tawang’s Strategic BCT Road Overnight After Landslides

The corridor is a lifeline for troop logistics to the Tawang sector.

Overview

  • Intense monsoon rain triggered five landslides near Jang on Wednesday evening, blocking the Jang bypass and stretches of the Balipara–Charduar–Tawang road.
  • Traffic was restored by midnight, the Defence PRO in Guwahati said, allowing military convoys and essential supplies to move.
  • Teams from the 42 Border Roads Task Force under Project Vartak worked through continuous rainfall and difficult terrain to clear debris.
  • BRO personnel assisted stranded travellers with food and drinking water until the route was declared safe.
  • Earlier this week, the 763 BRTF cleared landslide debris on key routes in Assam, reflecting sustained regional operations during the monsoon.
