As Sino-Indian border territory of Sikkim in India lagged behind economic development, weak infrastructure, the Indian Defense Minister AK Antony recently said he would take urgent measures to develop border infrastructure to meet China's development.

According to "India Times" recently reported that Anthony finished elevation of 14,140 feet in the inspection of the Nathu La Pass border trade channel, said with emotion, "a sight that surprised me, in India there was no way on both sides of the region compared to the Chinese side complete infrastructure development, well, they have been in the development of this road farther than planned. "

On expanding the scope of Sino-Indian border trade of goods, he said, "This is a good start, I hope more and more goods can be traded, the government is doing this effort." Indian businessmen can now buy 15 kinds of goods from China, can sell 29 kinds of commodities to China.

He said, "This is a gradual process, both sides can benefit from the public, but only if we need to develop infrastructure. This is not only for the military, but also for ordinary people, we must treat this matter seriously."

It is noted that India's northeastern border with China Trade Center, because bad weather has 4 months to stop trading. Nathu La Pass border trade channel in the November 30 cease trading, April 1 re-opened.

In the border line between China and India, there are many settings in the high-altitude mountain pass post here every year for up to six months of snow closing. A heavy snow years, the PLA border defense officers and men of ordinary people living in it unbearable cold and tough life.

30 years of reform and opening, through continuous investment in the construction of high-altitude border post in China every year renovation of housing, replacement of facilities, so that heating, electricity, drinking water and other basic living facilities are complete.

At an altitude of 4393 meters of the lira post, though later allotted the generator, the officers and men with only three hours a day to enjoy the joy of power, as voltage is weak, in addition to ensuring Jizhan lamp lighting, virtually can not use other electrical appliances the.

This post is in the Himalayan cold and warm Indian Ocean, Interchange, more thunder and lightning, electrical facilities behind mine, can only sit on the bed at night talking boil dry. "Bai Tianbing see soldiers, the number of stars at night", where the number of officers and men have been for several decades.

"I did not understand the instrument, the results here learned to play the guitar, a nice surprise." Observe the class monitor, Chen Jian said this, dumbfounding. Which one does not know any of the four left the old squad leader string guitar, as tools to pass the lonely.

3 years ago, this loneliness has been thoroughly improved. Joint military post from 10 km away from companies connected to three high-voltage lines and cables. Now, the lira post not only a fancy TV all day, listening to music, and were using electric blankets, computers. In the post, you can visit the Ministry of the border round the site, you can always click on military networks, to understand the outside world.

"The Times of India" published in New Delhi on October 12 a piece called "Sino-Indian border 73 strategic highway opened to traffic only 12," the article. The paper said India against China in the border area for the construction of military facilities, large-scale strategic pressure on plans to build three years ago, the 73 strategic roads, and so far only built 12, 2012, before the deadline impossible to schedule complete the strategy works. Article on the one hand Nupi inefficient bureaucracy, on the one hand to China's strategic infrastructure in Tibet and the rapidly growing military projection capabilities that envy.

The article said that although India's eastern Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh in order to upgrade the airport runway to respond to China in the border areas of strategic military facilities, large-scale construction of pressure, but the Indian army had to face a harsh reality: the construction of a number of strategic roads still stagnating state.

A source said the Indian border in the latest of a highway construction report showed that access has not yet demarcated, China 4,056 km-long Line of Actual Control in the border side of the road, although India plans to build 73, but Actual completion was only 12.

Government three years ago in response to China's Tibet Autonomous Region in full swing in the infrastructure construction to the passive approval of the construction of 73 all-weather roads, the project plans to build a total length of 3808 km distance. However, the lack of mandatory environmental clean-up means road construction, bureaucratic inefficiency and low capacity of project allocation of funds, a serious impediment to the completion of major road construction.

A senior Indian official told the newspaper, said: "slow progress in highway construction is a major problem. If you can not get more national resources and can not be completed more quickly along the clearance, then to the 2012 completion deadline These roads can not be achieved. In India, the other factors are often more than the national priority strategic initiatives. "

Especially when the Indian army as well as high-level study group on China has repeatedly stressed the need for road to connect the Line of Control between the two countries (LAC), to ensure the necessary circumstances, the ground forces, artillery and other equipment can be quickly transported to the frontier areas. This road covers 73 from the line of actual control of all three components - Western (Ladakh), middle (North Akan Nadu, Himachal Pradesh) and eastern (Sikkim, Aru Naqia) and leads to peaks and the bottom of a better strategic channels.

These roads, 24 roads in the territory of Aru Naqia, 19 in the territory of the North Akan Nadu, 14 in Jammu and Kashmir, seven in the territory of Himachal Pradesh and six in the territory of Sikkim. Ministry of the Interior and the Indian border police forces bear the task of building the road 27, the Defense Department's border road management are undertaking the task of building 15. Assigned to 12 other roads in India Central Public Works Department (CPWD) and the State Public Works Department (PWDs). The defense sector to the end, finally got some reason to cheer: Recently connecting the east and Ladakh - Lu ancient style - Fobu Lang - Bazar Tese, support hematoxylin out - disc wooden tables grams, Georgia Yu Seoul - Support SU wood column - zar Saar and Nagar Herzog - all the four roads in Malta after a long delay before finally won the approval of other departments, environmental demolition, please permit.

The newspaper also quoted an officer as saying: "Our armed forces often have to travel long distances to reach through the border post. Our road to reach some of the basic line of actual control between the two countries in the region need to travel 60-70 km. And from this recent in 100 km from the railway line. On the contrary it has the Chinese side through to the border road and rail. "

In contrast China has built several areas along the Line of Actual Control between the two countries by air, road and rail transport network composed of, in fact, only three weeks to the two divisions (about 30,000 soldiers) from the resident delivered to the border. In a few years ago, China will have to conduct the tactical mobility to spend three to four months.
