The real reason for China’s frustration against India is because of development of infrastructure at border. Whenever Defense Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurates Kailash Manasarovar road at Indo-China border in Vyans valley of Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand the annoyance of China reached to peaks.
75-kms long Manasarovar road link facilitates for pilgrims quick to reach Manasarovar. China feels that Manasarovar road link easy for Indian Army to reach the border easily without taking any difficulties. This leads to first Indo-China stiff on June 15th at Galwan valley.
Indian workers are now building roads near the India-China border amid tensions between them. The construction is about 280-kms long Nimmu-Padam-Darcha highway along the Zanskar river. PM Modi will inaugurate 8.8 km tunnel in coming weeks. It will be the first road to provide all year connectivity to Ladakh. The construction site is nearer to the confrontations occurred between Indian Army and PLA. The region is cut-off several months in a year because of snow falls. This construction highlights India’s efforts to boost infrastructure in border areas.
There are 2 main highways connecting the snow deserts to the rest of the country. But they are closed at least 4 months in a year. Nimmu-Padam-Darcha (NPD) highway is expected to be ready in 3 years. It will provide the only year-round access to large parts of Ladakh at border. As usual, China opposed to India’s infrastructure building near the border area. China said it does not recognize Ladakh Union Territory which is legally constructed. India is now pushing harder to blast and smash its way through the Himalayas.
