The Prime Minister recently praised the initiative Project Dantak to commemorate the 64th Raising Day.
Project Dantak was established in 1961.
Project Dantak is an overseas project of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) under the Ministry of Defence.
It was tasked to construct the pioneering motorable roads in Bhutan.
Some notable projects executed by the project include construction of Paro Airport, Thimphu – Trashigang Highway, Telecommunication & Hydro Power Infrastructure, Sherubtse College, and India House Estate.
The project recruits local workers from Bhutan as well as Indian workers from adjoining districts along the India-Bhutan border.
