The Governor emphasized that the proposed ‘Frontier Highway’ and the ‘Industrial Corridor’ must be taken up for completion in an expeditious timeframe. The ‘Frontier Highway’ must run close to the Line of Actual Control, connecting Dirang-Tawang road, Nafra, Lada, Bameng, Chayangtajo, Sarli, Damin, Parsi Parlo, Tali, Taliha, Siyum, Mechuka, Tato, Payum, Tuting, Singa, Dibang Valley and Anjaw Districts onwards upto Vijaynagar.
This Highway will provide the much needed strategic connectivity to the higher reaches of the State and facilitate faster movement of troops during any emergency. This will also give to the local population the very much needed convenience of movement. With good roads the availability of amenities in the border areas will certainly enhance the continuity of the stay of the people in those areas. The migration of the people from border areas to city centres will be checked to a great extent, he said.
