News9 Plus spotlights all-woman BRO team's achievement in Ladakh on Independence Day

News9 Plus spotlighted the all-woman BRO team's achievement in Ladakh on Independence Day.

News9 Plus stated that their team, comprising Nivriti Mohan, Vinayak Sharma, and Naresh Kumar, was on-site to capture the flag-hoisting moment by the all-woman team-building infrastructure in India’s toughest terrain.

News 9 Plus further stated, “Our team successfully captured visuals of the momentous occasion despite the formidable weather conditions.”

The 64 km road will connect Likaru to Fukche, merely 3 km away from the Eastern Ladakh Line of Actual Control (LAC). The new highest motorable pass, situated at an altitude of 19,400 feet, is set to create a world record, surpassing the previously constructed Umling La pass at 19,024 feet, which held the title since 2021.

News 9 Plus said in a statement, “On Independence Day, let us pay tribute to these audacious women securing the nation's heights.”

At an elevation of 14,450 feet, Hanle's extreme climatic conditions, with temperatures dropping as low as -20 to -30 degrees Celsius, posed an extraordinary challenge. Led by Colonel Ponung Doming, a team of five engineers become the world's first all-woman unit stationed at such a height.

Colonel Ponung Doming said, "The road we inaugurated, the Likaru-Mig La-Fukche road spanning 64 km, traverses the imposing Mig La Pass at an elevation of 19,400 feet. Once completed, it will not only surpass the esteemed Umling La Pass but also set a new global benchmark, establishing a world record."

“These women are at the forefront of supervising road construction along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China. These crucial roads will not only enable swift Indian force deployment along the LAC but also foster the development of the nation's remote border regions.

The women lead BRO's Project Himank, initiated in 1985. Project Himank plays a vital role in constructing and maintaining roads in the Ladakh region, including the world's highest motorable roads,” the statement said.

Likaru-Mig LA-Fukche, the world's new Highest Motorable Road, is a strategically significant 64 km stretch connecting Hanle to CDFD road at Fukche.
