About Border Roads Organisation (BRO), India
The Border Roads Organisation is India’s transnational construction organisation that is committed to meeting the strategic needs of the armed forces.
The BRO India was formed on May 07, 1960, and works under the Ministry of Defence since 2015. Initially, it was under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
The primary role of BRO India is to develop and maintain the road networks in the north and northeast areas near the border.

During peace, it develops and maintains the operational road infrastructure in the border areas and contributes to the socio-economic development of the border states.
During a war, it maintains the roads along the Line of Control (LOC) and executes additional tasks assigned by the government.
The 8.8 km-long Atal Tunnel in Himachal Pradesh at an altitude of 3,000 km is one of the biggest infrastructural achievements of BRO India.
