Centre sanctions new roads, infrastructure along China’s border
The Indo-Tibetan Border Police sanctions the construction of 15 pedestrian suspension bridges and 18 log bridges in Arunachal Pradesh; CCS clears 26 new roads as part of ICBR-III
The Indian government has sanctioned the construction of new roads and infrastructure along China's border in Arunachal Pradesh, a move that comes amid ongoing face-offs with the Chinese Army in the region. This is the second time since the 2020 Galwan clash that such a project has been sanctioned; the first phase of the project was initiated in 2005 and involved the construction of 27 priority roads with a total length of 608 km.
The project clearance came days after India hosted the 18th BRICS Summit, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the need for peace and tranquility in border areas to maintain bilateral relations.
