THE BORDER Roads Organisation (BRO) will soon complete specific infrastructure work along the border with China in the next few weeks. These include road patches on an alternate route to Leh that ensure all-weather connectivity.
Besides these, the organisation, which works under the Union Ministry of Defence, has prioritised work on designated projects under the India-China Border Roads programme and establishing full connectivity to the Lipulekh Pass on the Mansarovar Yatra Road in Uttarakhand, The Indian Express has learnt.
At present, there are three routes to reach Leh, the first being via Srinagar-ZojiLa-Kargil in Jammu and Kashmir. The second is through Manali-Rohtang in Himachal Pradesh. This road splits at a place called Darcha, from where one route connects to Leh via Padam and Nimu, and the other goes across mountain passes Baralacha La in Himachal Pradesh and Tanglang La in Ladakh via Karu before connecting to Leh.
