Kathua, 7 September (H.S.): ‘Project Sampark’ of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has restored the broken portion of the mountainous road in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district, the defence PRO said here on Sunday.

Defence PRO Jammu said on X, “A portion of the road from #Basohli to Bani had been washed out due to incessant rains leaving a yawning gap in the road at Tikri Morh 47 km from Basohli.”

The BRO constructed an entirely new formation that had to be cut to bypass the damaged stretch of the road. This was undertaken in treacherous weather and difficult terrain, with men and machines taking calculated risks.

“The link was restored establishing connectivity to Bhaderwah from Basohli. Kudos to Mr Sankar Tayal, OC 69 RCC of BRO and his team for accomplishing this difficult mission,” the X post added..
