Amazing technology: Now both speed and quality
BRO is now moving beyond traditional methods and using modern technology. Both speed and quality of work have improved through high altitude machines, modular bridges and precast technology. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh called it a strong foundation for future infrastructure.

Challenges are also big: test of land, weather and time
Working on the border is not easy. Many challenges arise like land acquisition, environmental clearance and bad weather. But BRO is continuously increasing its capacity to deal with them.
