Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has started the construction of 64-km long Likaru-Mig La-Fukche road close to Hanle in Eastern Ladakh’s Demchok sector.
Once completed, it will be the world’s highest motorable road at a height of 19,400 ft in Mig La.
Reportedly, an all-woman unit of the BRO began the construction of the Likaru-Mig La-Fukche road. A five-member team of women combat engineers headed by Colonel Ponung Doming is supervising the road construction.
Currently, Umling La in Ladakh at a height of 19,024 ft holds the record of being the highest motorable road in the world.
- It is a 52-km road that connects Chishumle to Demchok, which is right on the Line of Actual Control (LAC), and a friction point between India and China.
