BRO to construct world's highest fighter airfield in Ladakh

The project is set to commence with the laying of the foundation stone by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on September 12, starting from Devak Bridge.

BRO took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to make the exciting announcement, stating, "BRO India will be constructing the World's highest fighter airfield at Nyoma in Ladakh.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's NDA government, India has been actively and proactively working on enhancing its infrastructure.

Over the past two to three years, the Border Roads Organisation has completed a remarkable 295 projects valued at Rs 11,000 crore. These projects play a pivotal role in enhancing connectivity, accessibility, and defense preparedness in the border regions, reinforcing India's commitment to bolstering its national security.

The construction of the world's highest fighter airfield in Nyoma, Ladakh, marks a significant milestone in India's infrastructure development, reflecting the nation's determination to fortify its strategic presence along its northern borders.
