According to the information received, the construction of the remaining part of this road, about 154 km, is likely to be completed by mid this year.

7 districts will benefit from direct connectivity

With the completion of this project, a 554 km long road will be ready on the border.

There will be a significant improvement in traffic facilities and road connectivity between India and Nepal will be stronger. Vigilance will increase on the border and SSB (Sashastra Seema Bal) soldiers will get help in patrolling. There will be a lot of success in curbing smuggling.

Tourism and trade will also be promoted

India and Nepal share about 729 km of border, out of which 554 km is being covered under the Border Road Project. This project was started in the year 2010. It is to be developed in a total length of 1 thousand 372 km in Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. A large part of it has been completed.

Development will get a new dimension in border areas

The completion of this road will reduce the time taken to travel to Nepal, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and West Bengal. Along with this, trade, education and health facilities will expand in the border villages. This road will not only be a great facility for the local residents but will also promote tourism and trade, which will give a new dimension to development in the border areas
