BRO Advances Bridge Construction to Enhance Connectivity on Rajouri-Jammu Corridor
The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is advancing bridge construction along the Rajouri-Kalakote-Reasi-Katra-Jammu corridor to improve connectivity and support local employment.

The projects employ 100-150 local workers and are expected to enhance tourism and regional economic activity by linking key destinations and ensuring smoother transit.
