Owing to its strategic importance, the vital bridge, once constructed will play a crucial role in easing out the inconvenience caused to local people and troops deployed in this remote part of State.

The construction of the significant bridge is being undertaken by Border Road Organization while the IAF is assisting it in carrying the load to expedite the building process.
