BRO makes history, begins opening of Baralachala Pass before schedule
NEW DELHI: The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has begun opening the Baralacha La Pass much before the schedule to gain strategic advantages over the adversaries.
Baralacha La Pass is a high mountain pass in the Zanskar range connecting Lahaul district in Himachal Pradesh to Leh district in Ladakh, situated along the Leh–Manali Highway.
Lt Gen Rajeev Chaudhry, VSM DGBR, said, “This is the first time in history that we are going to open the pass ahead of the scheduled time.” The task was difficult due to heavy snow accumulation over a very large area making access to the point of activities tough.
