Defence Minister Rajnath Singh chaired a meeting of the Parliamentary Consultative Committee for the Ministry of Defence on Wednesday (March 25, 2026) which focused on the role and progress of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) in strengthening India’s border infrastructure and national security.
During the meeting, Mr. Singh emphasised the critical importance of robust infrastructure along India’s borders, stating that the BRO is playing a key role in fostering an integrated ecosystem of national security, connectivity and regional development.
He highlighted the organisation’s contribution to improving connectivity in the North-Eastern region and areas affected by left-wing extremism, noting that these efforts have significantly enhanced both security and socio-economic growth.
“The BRO has facilitated the mobility of defence forces and transformed the lives of border residents,” Mr. Singh said.
He also pointed out that the BRO has been tasked with developing infrastructure along the Indo-Myanmar border, covering nearly 1,600 kilometres. The initiative is expected to significantly strengthen India’s border management and operational preparedness in strategically sensitive regions.
