India Approves New Roads and Bridges Along Arunachal China Border

The Indo-Tibetan Border Police has sanctioned <b>15 pedestrian suspension bridges and 18 log bridges</b> in Arunachal Pradesh, a senior government official told The Hindu. The infrastructure work comes amid continuing face-offs with Chinese forces along the Line of Actual Control in the state since late July. The Cabinet Committee on Security cleared the third phase of the Indo-China Border Roads project in February. Under the plan, <b>26 roads</b> are to be built along the LAC in Arunachal Pradesh. The source describes this as only the second critical road infrastructure project sanctioned along the China border since the 2020 Galwan clashes.
