It was so difficult to reach Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh that it only became a motorable road in 1977, (was a class 9 road in military parlance): @nitingokhale #SimplyNitin
From Tezpur to Tawang now a smooth ride, a black-topped road: @nitingokhale #SimplyNitin #EyeonChina
What provoked China to make a non-existent border claim with Bhutan was an alternate route to Tawang via Mandala. The road touches the Sakteng wildlife sanctuary in Bhutan which China is staking claim to: @nitingokhale #SimplyNitin #EyeonChina
Sela tunnel coming up at 13,700 feet. Will provide all-weather connectivity to Tawang. One of the reasons China has raked up issue of Sakteng wildlife sanctuary in Bhutan: @nitingokhale #SimplyNitin #EyeonChina
Many India-China border roads sanctioned by the China Study Group. Border roads now a game-changer for India: @nitingokhale #SimplyNitin #EyeonChina
These border roads will provide the back-up for the #IndianArmy in case of a conflict. China claims Arunachal, calls it south Tibet: @nitingokhale #SimplyNitin #EyeonChina
