The road transport and highways ministry, in keeping with the government’s priority to enhance connectivity in border areas has allocated around Rs.60 billion for 11 different packages of the strategic Frontier Highway in Arunachal Pradesh that will run close to the India-Tibet-China-Myanmar border. The work on this 1,748 km two-lane highway, barely 20 km from the international border, will start by April this year. A ministry official said three agencies — state PWD, BRO and National Highway and Infrastructure Development Corporation — will undertake the construction work. The entire project will be executed in phases. By the end of this financial year, nearly 400 km of this mega road project in Arunachal Pradesh and also in the entire North East will be bid out, creating many jobs for locals. Minister Gadkari said the road infrastructure will connect crucial river basins and facilitate the development of numerous hydropower projects in the state.
