Union Minister Nitin Gadkari revealed that the ambitious frontier highway project in Arunachal Pradesh will receive funding of ₹6,621.62 crore from the Central government. According to the minister, funding has been allocated for the construction of eight packages on National Highway 913 (Frontier Highway), which will use the EPC mode to convert to an intermediate lane design. The project spans a total length of 265.49 kilometres.
"Encompassed within this initiative are packages 1, 3 and 5 covering the Huri-Taliha section, two packages addressing the Bile-Migging section, packages 2 and 4 managing the Kharsang-Miao-Gandhigram-Vijaynagar section, and package 1 focusing on the Bomdila-Nafra-Lada section," the transport minister said.
The development of these highway stretches holds promise for enhanced connectivity to border areas, fostering socio-economic growth in the state, he said. The construction of the frontier highway is anticipated to curb migration and facilitate reverse migration towards the border areas of the state, the minister said.
"Additionally, these stretches play a vital role in establishing essential road infrastructure connecting significant river basins, thereby enabling the development of numerous hydropower projects within the state," Gadkari pointed out. The greenfield road is designed to link uninhabited and sparsely populated areas of Upper Arunachal, making it conducive to tourism. Chief Minister Pema Khandu welcomed the development project, saying that the state is witnessing a new era of connectivity in border areas.
