Indian Army to construct strategic projects at the Chinese Borders

New Delhi: Taking a cue from China on military infrastructure, the Indian Army plans to expedite its road constructions along the Chinese border, with at least four routes to be taken up on a priority basis, it announced on Friday.

The road links to Niti, Lipulekh, Thangla 1 and Tsangchokla passes will be taken up on priority and 2020 is the deadline, the Indian Army said.

All these four locations fall under the ambit of the Army's Northern Command.

“Decided that there would be a concerted heft towards road construction in the central sector of the borders with China,” the ANI quoted it as saying.
