The governor said these important bridges are not only important for the rapid movement of troops and equipment, but will also play an important role in the socio-economic development of the local people.
BRO has completed the construction of these projects in record time, said Shukla.
Many of these projects were built simultaneously using modern technology, the governor added as he commended the efforts of the BRO in completing the work under challenging weather conditions in windless areas.
