NEW DELHI, Apr 27: Deputy Chief Minister, Chowna Mein called on Union Minister for Roads, Transport & Highways, Nitin Gadkari at his official residence in New Delhi today and discussed about NH-15 road portion of 61.15 Km from Chongkham to Brahmakund (Parsuram Kund) in Arunachal Pradesh.
In the meeting, Gadkari directed the Border Roads Organization (BRO) for immediate handing over of the said road to NHIDCL and also directed NHIDCL for immediate commencement of the construction work. Before the commencement of the road construction, he also asked NHIDCL to carry out maintenance of the road immediately as the said portion of the road is in deplorable condition causing inconvenience to the commuters.
The NH 15 road portion from Chowkham to Brahmakund (Parsuram Kund) with length of 61.15 KM connects three Districts namely, Namsai, Lohit and Anjaw (border district) of Arunachal Pradesh.
