Explanation:

Indian Railway was introduced in 1853, when a line was constructed from Bombay to Thane covering a distance of 34 km.

The Border Road Organisation (BRO) was established in May 1960 for accelerating economic development and strengthening defence preparedness through rapid and coordinated improvement of strategically important roads along the northern and north-eastern boundary of the country.

After Independence, twenty-year road plan (1961) was introduced to improve the conditions of roads in India.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) was operationalised in 1995.
