The Government of India has approved the construction of a 1400 km long highway near the China border, which will improve the connectivity of the border areas. The highway, built at a cost of Rs 42,000 crore, will pass through 12 districts of Arunachal Pradesh and will prove to be very important for India strategically.

Rijiju announces the highway
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju announced this major project during the Nyokum Yollo fair held in Kamle district of Arunachal Pradesh. He said that this highway will be very close to the China border and it will be a historic step for India.
Strategic importance and government’s big plan
- This highway will pass through sensitive districts like East Kamang, Bishom, Upper Subansiri, Xi-Yomi, Anjaw and Changlang in Arunachal Pradesh.
- In many places, it will be just 20 kilometers from the China border.
- This project will prove to be a gamechanger for the security and development of Northeast India.
Vice President appreciated announced
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar was also present on the occasion. He said that this was Kiren Rijiju’s dream and now this dream is going to be a reality.
India’s decision is considered a tough message for China, as China has been repeatedly claiming the Tawang region of Arunachal Pradesh. Now the construction of this highway will further strengthen the security of India’s borders and infrastructure.
