The DGBR also engaged in discussions with the General Officer Commanding of the 33 Corps and the Commander of the Chaten Brigade. These discussions focused on enhancing operational collaboration and the advancement of significant border infrastructure projects in the area.
Subsequently, he met with the Chief Secretary of Sikkim, reaffirming the Border Roads Organization's (BRO) dedication to assisting the state and expressing appreciation for the government’s ongoing support and assistance.
