Appreciate that they're discussing ecological balance while building roads. In sensitive border areas like Arunachal, we need development but not at the cost of environment. Good approach!

While I appreciate BRO's work, I hope the forest clearances are properly evaluated. Sometimes development projects rush through environmental approvals. Let's ensure sustainable development.
