New Delhi: Border Road Organisation (BRO) will be brought fully under the Defence Ministry and non-sensitive roads in border areas will be handed over to the National Highways Authority of India, said Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.
The BRO is presently under both road transport and defence ministries. While the former allocates funds, the latter has executive control.
In an interaction with journalists on Tuesday night, Parrikar said dual control has led to a sad state of affairs in the organisation.
"The BRO will be brought fully under the Defence Ministry. There was lot of confusion because it was under two masters," he said.
