China's border will be more secure: Frontier Highway will be built at the cost of 40 thousand crore rupees on the northeast border

The central government is going to build a frontier highway in the Northeast for Rs 40,000 crore to counter China's plans permanently. This highway, about 2 thousand kilometers long, will also prove to be the lifeline of Arunachal Pradesh and India's permanent ground position line in front of China. Talking of strategic importance, it will pass through the McMahon Line, the boundary line drawn between India and Tibet.

British Foreign Secretary Henry McMahon had presented it as a border and India considers it as the real border while China has been rejecting it. The construction of this highway will be done jointly by the Border Roads Organization (BRO) and the National Highway Authority. The army will provide logistic support. After Tawang, the Frontier Highway will go to Myanmar after East Kameng, West Siang, Desali, Dong, and Hawai.

this will be beneficial

Not only China, but Myanmar's border will also be safe.

It will help in stopping migration from the border area.

With the development of Vibrant Village around the highway, the ghost villages that China is setting up can be monitored.

Arunachal Pradesh already has two National Highways - Trans Arunachal Highway and East-West Industrial Corridor. All the corridors of the state will converge with this third highway. This will ensure road connectivity to remote areas.

Will connect the entire Arunachal

This highway will connect all the important strategic areas of Arunachal. In this, highway connectivity will be provided between Upper Subansiri, Dibang Valley, Chaglagam, and Kibithu via Vijayanagar to Mago-Thingbu of Tawang.
