In the next 4 to 5 years, we will forge ahead of China

Lt Gen. Rajeev Chaudhry said in the past 3 years we could complete 294 border road projects because the Indian Government gave financial support for the projects. Bridges, tunnels, and runways for the airplanes were built as well. In the next 4 months, we will complete another 60 projects. We have built the worlds highest road. Two years ago, we built the world’s highest motorable road at 19,000 feet above sea level in Demchok. Our department is co-operating with the Government by completing the projects at a fast pace. Because of this we will beat China in the next 3 to 4 years.

Compared to the previous Congress Government the present Government gives encouragement to completing the projects !

Lt Gen. Chaudhry added that the previous government was chary of building roads close to the Line of Actual Control (LAC) because there was a perception that China may use these roads to attack “This was said by the then Defence Minister A K Antony in 2008. However, in present Government the focus has changed. In the previous 60 years tunnels were made only twice. In the last three years we have completed four tunnels, 10 are in progress which will be completed by the next year. And eight more are in advance planning stage,”. In winter snow fall close down the roads, at that time tunnels will be of great use.

Editorial Perspective

India too should be prepared to give a tit for tat response to China.
