Leh, Ladakh – In a remarkable overnight rescue operation, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) restored critical road connectivity in Ladakh’s remote Kilima–Chilling sector after flash floods triggered multiple landslides on the Nimu–Padum–Darcha road. The disaster had severed access to villages and left several locals and tourists stranded in high-altitude terrain.

BRO Rises to the Occasion in Crisis

The flash floods struck on July 20, causing landslides that blocked the arterial route at Kilometre 92.40. Within hours, Project Yojak of BRO launched an emergency response operation under challenging weather and terrain conditions. Working through the night, BRO engineers and personnel installed a 50-foot Bailey Bridge at the damaged stretch, successfully reconnecting the isolated sector to the mainland.

The swift action not only rescued stranded civilians but also reinstated the only lifeline road that serves as a key link for remote villages and forward defence posts in the Zanskar region.

The newly erected bridge became operational by the very next day, restoring smooth traffic flow and ensuring immediate relief and rescue logistics. This timely response highlighted BRO’s unwavering commitment to national service and its expertise in mountain infrastructure and disaster relief.

The quick deployment of the Bailey Bridge once again underscored BRO’s critical role in maintaining road networks across India’s most inhospitable terrains. It also reaffirmed the organization’s standing as a first responder in remote and border areas prone to natural calamities.
