Aizawl: Lok Sabha MP Richard Vanlalhmangaiha on Tuesday met Border Roads Organisation (BRO) Director General Lt. Gen. Raghu Srinivasan at the BRO Headquarters, pressing for faster completion of ongoing works in Mizoram and addressing land acquisition hurdles.
During the meeting, the MP urged the BRO to expedite road works and other development activities being undertaken in the state, particularly under the PUSHPAK Project. He specifically called for the completion of pending RCC bridges that have stalled progress in certain areas.
Vanlalhmangaiha also sought the Director General’s intervention in resolving delays in land acquisition in Lawngtlai, Siaha, and Champhai districts, stressing that compensation must be settled promptly to avoid further project slowdowns.

The BRO chief assured that every effort would be made to execute ongoing and future works in Mizoram efficiently and within timelines.
