Without naming China, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday asserted that “what we had to face in the northern sector recently, we were able to face the adversary with determination, it was not possible without proper infrastructure development.”
He also mentioned that in the current scenario, the possibility of a conflict cannot be ruled out. “In today’s uncertain environment, the possibility of any kind of conflict cannot be ruled out. Such situations motivate us even more for the development of these areas,” the defence minister said.
Speaking at the inauguration of 27 new roads and bridges built by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), many of them close to the China border, Singh said that “it is a matter of pride that we have the BRO for cooperation in the development of these areas…”
