BRO Constructs Bridge in Record Time on a Key Road Connecting Strategic Areas in AP

Major bridges in India 21 April, 2020 | GS-III | | Infrastructure | Internal security | PT PICKUPS BRO constructs bridge in record time on a key road connecting strategic areas in AP Border Roads Organisation (BRO) constructed bridge over Subansiri river in Arunachal Pradesh in a record span of just 27 days. Amidst the nationwide lockdown, BRO undertook the developmental work for construction of the Daporijo bridge maintaining utmost precautions against COVID-19. The bridge is of utmost importance in strategic connectivity as it links roads leading upto the LAC between India and China. Other projects: Bogibeel bridge is a combined road and rail bridge over the Brahmaputra river in the north eastern Indian state of Assam between Dhemaji district and Dibrugarh district, which was started in the year 2002 and took a total of 200 months to complete, Bogibeel river bridge is the longest rail-cum-road bridge in India measuring 4.94 kilometres over the Brahmaputra river. As it is situated in an earthquake-prone area it is India's first bridge to have fully welded steel-concrete support beams that can withstand earthquakes of magnitudes up to 7 on the Richter Scale. It is Asia’s 2nd longest rail-cum-road bridge and has a serviceable period of around 120 years. It is the 5th longest bridge in India after Bhupen Hazarika Setu, Dibang River Bridge, Mahatma Gandhi Setu and Bandra-Worli Sea Link. The bridge was constructed by a consortium of construction companies headed by Hindustan Construction Company. The bridge has a double rail line on the lower deck and a 3 lane road on the upper deck. It was inaugurated by prime minister Narendra Modi on 25th December 2018 on the occasion of Good Governance Day. The Dhola–Sadiya Bridge, also referred to as the Bhupen Hazarika Setu, is a beam bridge in India, connecting the northeast states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. The bridge spans the Lohit River, a major tributary of the Brahmaputra River, from the village of Dhola (Tinsukia District) in the south to Sadiya to the north. The bridge is the first permanent road connection between the northern Assam and eastern Arunachal Pradesh. At 9.15 kilometres (5.69 mi) in length, it is the longest bridge in India over water. However, the 9.76 kilometres (6.06 mi) Kacchi Dargah–Bidupur Bridge under construction in the Indian state of Bihar , is expected to become the longest bridge in India upon its estimated completion in November 2021.

Wildlife of the Brahmaputra
WILDLIFE OF THE BRAHMAPUTRA Kashmira Kakati “The native town of Gowahatty is built entirely of bamboos, reeds, and grass. To the south an extensive marsh almost surround the whole station, and the contiguity of many old tanks, choked with jungle, coupled with the vicinity of the hills on every quarter except the north, renders this town, in spite of the improvements already alluded to, one of the most insalubrious in Assam’. “I arrived at the mouth of the little stream Dikhoo, and mounting an elephant, rode through a dense tree and grass jungle to Seebsaugur, distant twelve miles from the Burrampooter”. “In the Chawlkhowa river, opposite Burpetah, I have seen basking in the sun on the sand banks, as many as ten crocodiles at a time; and upon one occasion, a heap of a hundred crocodiles’s eggs, each about the size of a turkey’s egg, were discovered on a sand bank, and brought to me”. - From ‘A Sketch of Assam’, John Butler, 1847 Photo on previous age: A makhna at Poba Reserve Forest, the last rainforest remnant flush on the Brahmaputra. 2 CONTENTS Acknowledgment ...4 Summary...7 Introduction...8 Objectives & Methods...10 Site/Species Accounts...17 1.
