Then the Foothill-Chaku-Tenga (FCT) road, which passes through Eaglenest, was the only motorable road which provided access to the Assam plains during the 1962 war. The FCT road was built by Road Construction Company platoon of the Indian army and Chaku was named after a South Indian engineer. As we spoke to people, the way Chaku is spelt varied a lot; but Chacko also happens to be a common Malyali surname.
