Expressing his gratitude on behalf of the people of the state, Khandu said that the state has witnessed unprecedented development in infrastructure, especially in the border areas, which has not only strengthened security along long international borders but also improved the lives of local people living there.
The Prime Minister had a detailed discussion with the Defense Minister on connectivity needs in the state, particularly focusing on the strategic Akajan-Likabali-Bame corridor, which includes the crucial bridge over the Taro Tamak River. This road connects the plains of Assam to the remote border districts of Upper Subansiri and Shi-Yomi in Arunachal Pradesh. It is worth noting that almost all parts of this strategic path are undertaken by BRO.
