Overview
- Projects worth about ₹5,000 crore span Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir and seven states, comprising 28 roads, 93 bridges and four other works.
- The 920‑metre Shyok Tunnel on the DS‑DBO road in eastern Ladakh provides all‑weather passage through avalanche‑ and landslide‑prone terrain near the LAC.
- An alternate high‑altitude axis to Tawang via the Sela–Chabrela–BJ Gompa road reduces single‑route dependence, with forward connectivity now reaching Shungester.
- Rajnath Singh linked the success of May’s Operation Sindoor to improved logistics and mobility, and he also virtually inaugurated the Galwan War Memorial in Ladakh.
- Officials highlighted a record BRO spend in FY 2024–25 (₹16,690 crore), a higher FY 2025–26 target (₹18,700 crore) and adoption of indigenous technologies such as Class‑70 modular bridges and a 3D‑printed facility.
