COL B M THAPA ,BENGAL SAPPERSS

After my premature retirement from Corps of Engrs Engineers, I got golden opportunity to render my services for construction of Tehri Dam under Tehri Hydro Development Corporation India Ltd(THDCILTD) FOR GENERATION OF 2400 M W power. Mission achieved with the help of Indian Engineers and 30 Russian experienced Engineers.
22% of Uttarakhand is in highlandslide prone zone due to fragile mountains so one has to be very careful for construction of such underground powerhouses as THDCILtd did. Same technique is being adopted now for highway road construction by the other organization as given more details below.
The Char Dham highway project is 75% completed. Remaining likely to be completed by the end of 2026. The 900km project links Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath. 🇮🇳🙏
