BRO again scripts history; Project Himank constructs world’s highest motorable road at Mig La Pass near LAC

In a historic feat, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has once again scripted history by setting a new world record, as Project Himank constructed the world’s highest motorable road at Mig La Pass, located at 19,400 feet above sea level in eastern Ladakh near the Line of Actual Control (LAC). With this achievement, the BRO has surpassed its own previous record set at Umling La in 2021, which stood at 19,024 feet. Led by Brigadier Vishal Srivastava, the BRO team hoisted the National Flag and the organisation’s flag at the site.
 
The newly constructed road, part of the Likaru-Mig La-Fukche alignment, holds immense strategic importance as it forms the third crucial axis from Hanle to Fukche village near the border. In addition to its strategic value, the road is expected to boost tourism in Ladakh, offering breathtaking views of the Indus Valley. This milestone stands as a testament to the BRO’s engineering excellence in some of the world’s most extreme and challenging terrains.
