Lieutenant General Raghu Srinivasan, Director General Border Roads (DGBR) visited Project Swastik on Tuesday to assess the ongoing restoration of the Lachen axis, which suffered extensive damage during the June 2025 cloudburst.
During the visit, the DGBR inspected the Taram Chu Bridge site, where a Bailey Suspension Bridge is being readied for launch. Once completed, the bridge will restore vital connectivity along the axis, crucial for both civilian movement and military logistics.
