As on 19/October/2k17,
Bogibeel Bridge has only one piller to be connected and hopefully by November end, it could be completed by the agency. The credit goes to the Modi government who brought robustness in getting this bridge completed by 2018. UPA-I & II almost abundant this infrastructure project during their consecutive tenure. The operationalization of this bridge will definitely have positive impacts on the Arunachalees in ease of doing business, transportation, Medical treatment etc.
