India is building world’s highest tunnel, motorable road, and aircraft base in Eastern Ladakh. Border Roads Organisation (BRO) will break its own record of building the highest road at Umlong La Pass two years back. And now it will be surpassed in next two working seasons with the Mig La-Fukche road coming up. BRO chief Lt General Rajeev Chaudhry shared that it will help in the deployment of troops at the earliest if any critical situation arises. Chaudhry said the world’s highest bi-lane tunnel Sela is also ready. Moreover, Sela is expected to be dedicated to the nation by the Prime Minister very soon. Chaudhry stated that the construction of Shinku La tunnel connecting Manali through Zanskar to Leh will be started. Shinku La tunnel will be the highest and will break the record of the MiLa tunnel situated in China. Nyoma airfield which is just 30 kilometers in aerial distance in Eastern Ladakh, will be capable of operating fighter aircraft by the end of 2024.
