Indo-China Border

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh recently inaugurated 44 bridges in the country including eight strategic bridges in Ladakh only. In addition to this, the construction of 45 more bridges in Ladakh will be completed by Border Roads Organisation (BRO) in the next two years. BRO has completed eight bridges in both Kargil and Leh on four strategically important roads close to the Line of Control (LOC) and Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh. In a strong response to China's objection to development of infrastructure on the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC), New Delhi asserted that Beijing has no locus standi to comment on India's internal matters.
