How India Is Enhancing Border Infrastructure To Improve Military Preparedness

The latest in a series of projects worth thousands of crores that have supported the military’s pursuit of robust deterrence against the neighbor with whom the country has been locked in a standoff in eastern Ladakh for more than three years, Border Roads Oman, is set to boost India’s infrastructure push along its farthest frontiers, a firm and focused response to China’s thrust on developing its border areas.

The infrastructure in forward areas—a landscape dotted with towering mountains, valleys, and rivers—depends on the military’s readiness, among other factors, and India is working nonstop to make sure that its deployed forces maintain a competitive edge, the officials said on condition of anonymity.

As it stands, China has a border infrastructure advantage over India, but the country is moving the fastest toward closing the gaps, they claimed.

One of the officials mentioned above claimed that the development was being monitored at the highest levels of the government.

On Tuesday, Rajnath Singh, the defense minister, will officially open projects close to India’s border with China. The increased connectivity in forward areas will have a direct impact on military mobility, logistics support for deployed forces, and civilian movement in border states. Rajnath Singh has made sure that BRO receives adequate funding to build and modernize border infrastructure.
