Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated the Siyom bridge in Arunachal Pradesh

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh asserted that India has every capability to thwart challenges along the border to protect the country’s territory.
Shri. Rajnath Singh also said India never encourages war, and always wants to maintain cordial relations with its neighbors.
However, “the Indian Army has the capability to face any challenge along the border,” and is ready to deal with any situation, he said during the inauguration of a Border Roads Organisation (BRO) bridge in Boleng, Arunachal Pradesh.
The inauguration of the bridge by the Defense Minister is of utmost importance as it gives a military advantage in deploying troops in far-flung areas of the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
The bridge is 100 meters long and is built over the Siyom River. This bridge will also help in the movement of the local people.
China has been increasing infrastructure in the areas adjacent to LAC for a long time. But now India is also engaged in increasing the border infrastructure rapidly for the last few years.
Under this, many roads, tunnels, bridges, military bases, permanent military infrastructure, helipads, and airfields are being built.
In June 2020, after the bloody clash between the soldiers of the two countries in the Galvan Valley of eastern Ladakh, India increased the pace of border infrastructure.
