Itanagar, May 20: Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi on Wednesday to review the status of multiple projects of national importance underway in Arunachal Pradesh.

The meeting focused on infrastructure and strategic initiatives being executed in the frontier state, which shares international borders with China, Bhutan, and Myanmar.

During the interaction, Khandu conveyed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and the Union Government for their “unwavering support and continued commitment” to Arunachal Pradesh’s development and progress.

Arunachal Pradesh is currently seeing work on several flagship schemes deemed nationally significant. These include the 1,748 km Frontier Highway along the Line of Actual Control, the Trans Arunachal Highway, and multiple hydropower projects aimed at boosting India’s renewable energy capacity.

The state government has been coordinating closely with the Ministry of Home Affairs on security related infrastructure, road networks in remote districts, and telecommunications expansion in border areas.

Khandu has previously credited the Centre for increased budgetary allocations and faster clearances for projects in the state, noting that improved connectivity is key to both economic growth and national security.
