The Director General of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), Lieutenant General Raghu Srinivasan, conducted a visit to flood-affected regions in Jammu to evaluate the impact on road infrastructure. His visit comes in the wake of heavy rains, flash floods, and landslides that have caused significant damage, including to the crucial national highway connecting the region with Kashmir.
A BRO spokesperson reported that Lt Gen Raghu Srinivasan assessed the areas affected by rain and flooding under Project Sampark on Wednesday. The focus was to evaluate the extent of damage to the road network and to supervise strategies for swift restoration.
He directed the BRO personnel and commanding officers to expedite the repair and restoration efforts to restore surface connectivity as soon as possible.
The Jammu region has been battered by nine continuous days of rainfall, resulting in the death of over 120 individuals and significant damage to hundreds of homes and other infrastructure, including power, water, road, and agricultural sectors.
