Question

Accepted Answer

A. 1 only — Statement 1 is correct; BRO completed it at 19,400 feet under Project Himank. Statement 2 is incorrect because the Likaru-Mig La-Fukche road is in Eastern Ladakh and connects to Fukche near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China, not the LoC with Pakistan.
