He underlined that reliable road connectivity is vital for improving access, strengthening border infrastructure and unlocking greater socio-economic opportunities for people in the region. He also expressed appreciation for the efforts of the executing agencies and urged all stakeholders to maintain close coordination to secure timely completion of the project. Officials were instructed to prioritise quality assurance, safety measures and environmental safeguards during execution.
The meeting was attended by Pankaj Goyal, Chief Engineer of Project Brahmank; Rajendra Kumar, Superintending Engineer; and S. Meenakshi Sundaram, Executive Engineer. Participants reviewed technical and logistical matters related to terrain stabilisation, seasonal weather windows and supply chain arrangements for construction materials and equipment. They discussed enhanced monitoring arrangements, phased mobilisation of machinery and workforce and the scheduling of periodic site inspections. Emphasis was placed on engaging local communities and contractors to support access works and to mitigate social and ecological impacts.
The project forms part of broader efforts to strengthen frontier connectivity and to improve logistical resilience for defence and civil needs. Improved road links will facilitate movement of goods and services, enhance emergency response and open new prospects for local commerce and tourism. Officials committed to follow up meetings and tighter coordination between state authorities and the General Reserve Engineer Force for sustained progress.
