Explanation:

Project Swastik has a significant role as it maintains the vital road network in east and north Sikkim leading to the international border and many tourist spots in the region. The trade with China across Nathula Pass and conduct of holy Mansarovar Yatra depends on an efficient and reliable road network.

In a relief to the residents of Lachen in North Sikkim, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) opened for traffic 360 feet long bailey suspension bridge over Teesta River in Munshithang near Chungthang town. This Bridge was constructed by Border Roads Organisation (BRO) over Teesta River in North Sikkim under Project Swastik. Construction of the bridge commenced in October 2019 and completed it in January 2020. The bridge will give impetus to tourism and facilitate the movement of logistics for the Armed Forces deployed in forward areas.
