ITANAGAR: The Border Roads Organisation has extended road connectivity upto Taksing in the Indo-China border in Upper Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh, a BRO statement said.

The BRO completed the extension of the difficult Tama Chung ChungTaksing road beyond Lemiking on May 9, after nine years of painstaking work, the statement said.

The road now connects a 80-kilometre stretch between Taksing circle along the international border with Lemiking.
