Answer 2

The incorrect statement is:

(c) Maintained by the National Highway Authority of India.

• Border Roads Organization (BRO) is responsible for the construction and maintenance of border roads in India. It is an inter-service organization under the Ministry of Defence and is responsible for providing road connectivity in the bordering areas of the country. The BRO was formed in 1960 with the primary objective of promoting economic development and security in the border areas.

• The BRO constructs and maintains roads in areas of difficult terrain and in border regions that have strategic significance. These roads provide access to remote and inaccessible areas, which helps in the economic development of these areas and also facilitates the movement of military personnel and equipment.

• The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is responsible for the development, maintenance, and management of national highways in India. It is not responsible for the construction and maintenance of border roads.
