Itanagar, May 7: Governor K T Parnaik has expressed his deep appreciation to the Centre and lauded the Border Roads Organization (BRO) for the successful completion of 21 key infrastructure projects in the state.

In addition, 17 new bridges have been completed to enhance all-weather connectivity in these sensitive regions.

He also extended greetings to the BRO on the occasion of its 66th Raising Day and acknowledged the exemplary efforts of its regional divisions, Project Vartak, Project Arunank, Project Brahmank, and Project Udayak, for their continued dedication to building quality infrastructure in the state.
Recognising outstanding contributions, the governor congratulated 752 BRTF Roing under Project Udayak for receiving the Best Task Force Award, 1446 BCC Anini also under Project Udayak for winning the Best Construction Company Award, and CMIR 761 BTTF, Yingkiong under Project Brahmank for being awarded Best Medical Establishment.
