Explanation

The passage clearly states: "Border Roads Organisation, a Government of India undertaking, constructs and maintains roads in the bordering areas of the country." NHAI handles Super Highways/National Highways, PWD handles state-level roads, and CRRI is a research institute — none of these deal specifically with border area roads. BRO was established in 1960 for roads of strategic importance in northern and north-eastern border areas — a detail examiners sometimes ask as a follow-up.
