BRO’s nearly completed Nimmu-Padam-Darcha road ‘untraceable’ by enemy, will give 365-day connectivity
New Delhi: Amid ongoing tensions on the India-China border, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has virtually completed work on the third street, also called the Nimmu-Padam-Darcha street which can reportedly give strategic connectivity to safety forces as it will likely be untraceable for the neighbouring nations.
This street may also save plenty of time because the older ones took virtually 12-14 hours to succeed in Leh from Manali, however on the brand new street, it should take solely 6 to 7 hours.
The two different roads particularly Srinagar-Kargil-Leh and Manali Sarchu-Leh roads, are uncovered as they’re near the International Border which makes it straightforward for the enemy to maintain a watch on them. Further,
One of crucial points of this street is that not like others it will possibly stay open virtually all year long, whereas, the 2 different roads used to remain open for under 6-7 months and have been often closed from November.
BRO engineers mentioned this street is purposeful now and is prepared for heavy automobiles weighing a number of tonnes.
“This road is ready except for a 30-kilometre stretch. Now the Army can use this road. The importance of this road is that the Army can save almost 5-6 hours in transit from Manali to Leh. Also, because this road is untraceable by other countries, Army movement can happen without much security risk. This road is not close to any border,” superintendent engineer, Commander 16 BRTF, MK Jain mentioned.
“Moreover, as this road is at low altitudes, it can be opened for almost 10-11 months for vehicle movement. This road is 258 kilometres long. We have given connectivity by diverting and connecting it to a different road as the 30-kilometre stretch is yet to be completed,” he added.
The route primarily used for transportation of products and personnel is the one from Zojila, which passes via the Drass-Kargil axis to Leh.
The similar route was focused closely by the Pakistanis in the course of the Kargil conflict in 1999 and was subjected to frequent bombarding and shelling by their troops from positions in excessive altitude mountains alongside the street.
