BRO to seek NH status for Kargil-Batalik road

The Project Vijayak of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), which looks after road projects in Ladakh region, would recommend to the Government of India that Kargil-Batalik-Khaltse road should be declared as a National Highway. Chairman and Chief Executive Councillor LAHDC, Kargil, Feroz Ahmad Khan told Greater Kashmir that apart from the recommendation, the Project has also assured the road would be upgraded.

Khan said the BRO has started realignment of Kargil-Batalik road at Hambotingla Pass, which was a long-pending demand of people of this area.
