The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has commenced the construction of the world’s highest motorable road, the ‘Likaru-Mig La-Fukche’ road, in Ladakh’s Demchok sector. This road project aims to provide connectivity to the military outposts in the sensitive Fukche sector, lying near the contested Line of Actual Control (LAC).
The road will reach an altitude of about 19,400 feet, surpassing the existing highest motorable road at Umling La in Ladakh. Notably, an all-woman unit of the BRO, led by Colonel Ponung Doming, is supervising the construction. Additionally, the BRO is undertaking other significant projects, including the Shinku La tunnel and the construction of the ‘Nyoma Airfield’.
