Arunachal Pradesh: 120-ft Bailey bridge restored in Anjaw district after more than a couple of years

Chaglohagam circle of Anjaw District is one of the remote areas along the borders.

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. Indian Army in coordination with Border Roads Organisation (BRO) and DC, Anjaw undertook the task of obtaining necessary clearances and constructing 120 ft long bridge over Tha Nala.

The nala is susceptible to overflow due to torrential rains and has also claimed precious lives of locals in the past. The expeditious planning and execution of the project resulted in completion of the bridge despite inclement weather and arduous terrain. The Local Mishmi population came together to celebrate the momentous occasion of the opening ceremony of the bridge near Mithumna along Rd Hayuliang – Chaglohagam on 24 Aug 2023. The village elders thanked the Indian Army and BRO for fulfilling the critical need of the locals and enabling road connectivity throughout the year between Hayuliang and Chaglohagam.
