SNOW CLEARANCE BY PROJECT VARTAK

The higher reaches of Tawang District in Arunachal Pradesh are witnessing heavy snowfall this month leading to accumulation of snow on the roads and disruption to traffic movement. Project Vartak of the Border Roads Organisation has stepped up to this challenge and deployed resources all along important axes and bottlenecks such as the Sela Pass, Y-Jn, Shungetsar, Klemta, and Zimithang Sector. Both men and machinery are working overtime to keep the roads open for military traffic as well as the local populace and tourists, who are flocking in great numbers from the plains to enjoy the snowfall.
