Indian government has sanctioned ₹28,229 crore for constructing the 1,637 km Arunachal Frontier Highway along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) to enhance connectivity and counter China’s aggression, according to Border Roads Organisation (BRO) officials. Set to be completed by 2027, the project spans 12 districts and closely aligns with the 'India-Tibet-China-Myanmar'. Part of the Brahmank Project, ongoing works include road development in Siang and Shi-Yomi districts and a new Siom River bridge. The highway is expected to boost regional socio-economic growth and ensure strategic all-weather connectivity for the military and civilians.
