As India has been embroiled in a confrontation with eastern Ladakh since last year and China is expanding infrastructure along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh, India has also insisted on building infrastructure in border areas to respond quickly. In this context, the strategically important Munsyari-Milam road in Uttarakhand, which has been under construction since 2012, will be completed before the end of 202 and this will make it much easier for the Indian Army to reach the Chinese border.
MNV Prasad, a senior official of the Border Roads Organization (BRO), said that the road being built on high mountains was to be completed by 2021, but many problems have arisen in building the road in difficult cliffs.
