Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways, Nitin Gadkari has given thumps up to Rs. 1014.59 crore for the construction of the Kharsang-Miao-Vijaynagar – Gandhigram section of NH-913 (Frontier Highway) in Arunachal Pradesh.
Taking it to social media, Gadkari wrote on X, “This transformative 61.55 km road, developed on EPC mode, promises enhanced connectivity to border areas, fostering socio-economic development. He said crucially, the Frontier Highway aims to curb migration, encouraging reverse migration towards Arunachal Pradesh’s border regions.”
He called it a significant move for the development of the Upper Arunanchal region. According to him, this national highway will pave the way for various hydropower projects and will also push tourism in the region.
