Amid tensions between India and China along the Line of Actual Control, India is aggressively pushing to build infrastructure in the border areas. The government, in the next five years, will build a new highway in Arunachal Pradesh that will run close to the India-Tibet-China-Myanmar border. At some locations, the 'frontier highway' will be as close as 20km from the international border. The 1,748-km long two-lane road designated as NH-913 will come as a big boost for the seamless movement of defence forces and equipment to the border which has been seeing repeated incursion attempts by China. China reportedly has been building infrastructure on its side of the LAC. This is the longest NH that the Centre has notified in one go in recent times. The entire stretch has been divided into nine packages. The project would cost around Rs 27,000 crore and the entire project is expected to be completed by 2026-27.
