ITANAGAR- The Director General of Border Roads (DGBR) Lt. General Rajeev Chaudhry, VSM called on the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh Brig. (Dr.) B. D. Mishra (Retd.) at Raj Bhavan, Itanagar on 16th June 2021. They discussed about strengthening the road communication in the State.

Road communication for the territorial security of the Nation is of paramount importance in Arunachal Pradesh being a Frontier State bordering three countries, the Governor said.

The Governor suggested the Director General of Border Roads to appropriately contribute in the construction, upgradation and maintenance of Miao-Vijoynagar Road, which is being taken up by the State Rural Works Department. He invited scientific advice and technical suggestions from the BRO in implementation of this strategic road project which will facilitate movement of heavy load carriers at the time of emergencies.
