*NEW DELHI - Indian Military two new strategic projects along borders have been revealed.*
Two strategic projects to build climate-controlled border outposts and frontier roads along the LAC with China have been to be expedited, ITBP Director-General SS Deswal said today.
The Indo-Tibetan Border Police chief also said the force is assessing the 3,488-km border area, running from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh, to see if more outposts can be created.
The construction of the first ITBP composite or climate-controlled outpost at Lukung (near Pangong Tso in Ladakh) was entrusted to NBCC but has been delayed, Mr Deswal said.
"We are requesting them to expedite the work. We are making efforts to ensure that the work is complete without further delay," he said on the eve of the 58th Raising Day of the paramilitary force raised in the aftermath of the 1962 Chinese aggression.
The building of composite outposts for ITBP troops is an ambitious project sanctioned by the Union government a few years ago. These bases will have climate-controlled temperatures for soldiers who guard the Line of Actual Control with China and the source of energy at these will be clean fuel or solar energy, and not diesel or kerosene.
