Arunachal Pradesh: Army inaugurates 120-ft long bridge in Chaglohagam near Indo-China border

The bridge is of strategic importance since it connects Chaglohagam with Hayuliang town in Anjaw district

People in Chalohagam circle near the India-China border, in Arunachal Pradesh’s Anjaw district heaved a sigh of relief after the restoration of a 120-feet Bailey bridge connecting the remotest corner with the rest of the frontier state.
Chaglohagam circle of Anjaw District is one of the remote areas along the borders and the collapse of the bridge has posed to be a grave challenge in terms of movement of civilians as well as the Army to the forward areas.
The connectivity to Chaglohagam is through a single arterial road of length 57 Km from Hayuliang which remains susceptible to closure due to seasonal nullahs and landslides at “Tha Nala” near Mithumna 24 Kms from Chaglohagam.
But the Army in coordination with Border Roads Organisation (BRO) and Anjaw District Administration undertook the task of getting necessary clearances to construct the bridge. it may be mentioned that the area is susceptible to overflow due to torrential rains and claimed precious lives of locals in the past.
The Local Mishmi population came together to celebrate the momentous occasion of the opening ceremony of the bridge. The village elders thanked the Army and BRO for fulfilling the critical need of the locals and enabling road connectivity throughout the year between Hayuliang and Chaglohagam.
