The possibility of any kind of conflict cannot be ruled out in today’s uncertain environment, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Tuesday as he listed the development of critical border infrastructure as a key priority to boost India’s overall military preparedness to confront any security challenge.
The defence minister was speaking after virtually dedicating to the nation 24 bridges and three roads, built by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) in four states and two union territories.
Of the 24 bridges, nine are in Jammu and Kashmir, five each in Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh, three in Uttarakhand and one each in Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh.
