In an effort to strengthen surface communication at remote Damin circle
in Arunachal Pradesh’s Kurung Kumey district, Mi -17 helicopters of the Indian Air Force
have airlifted more than 80 tonnes of bridging material to the
otherwise inaccessible area so that a bridge can be built over Kume
River.Owing to its strategic importance, the vital bridge, once
constructed will play a crucial role in easing out the inconvenience
caused to local people and troops deployed in this remote part of State.
Besides this, the bridge will also join the settlements of Huri with Damin, as reported.
The
construction of the significant bridge is being undertaken by Border
Road Organization while the IAF is assisting it in carrying the load to
expedite the building process.
