Highlighting Arunachal’s sensitive geopolitical location, the Governor underscored the strategic, security, and socio-economic significance of border fencing.
He stated that a strong fencing infrastructure with designated crossing points would act as a barrier to illegal infiltration, arms and drug trafficking, and insurgent movement, while also serving as a visible demarcation of Indian territory.
Such steps, he added, would ensure a stable and secure environment conducive to development in border areas.
