[Assam] Army, Police Heads Become Governors in North East India

[Ram Dhar]

  General JJ Singh  will be  in Arunachal    as New Delhis  Manager for  the following  –
 
 ( I agree Governor selection  in India is flawed  one , u will either see an   irrelevant politician whose shelf life is over  being appointed   or  retired  govt top official.)
 
 

Indian Army  is in middle of major reorganization in Eastern command. Two new mountain divisions will be  added there -- Checkmate China, though it’s very unlikely there will be any war . Heavy lift helicopters, 140 air droppable  ultra light Howitzers,utlity choppers,  helicopter gunship and UAVs will be part of these new army divisions.
 

New Road building project will connect Arunachals two ends – Tawang to Tirap. New Railway connectivity between Itanagar and Harmuti. ND will count on JJ to  kick off these  two ambitious projects.Rs 10,000 crores  announced by MMS last month. Project start to end – 5 years , can they do it , I doubt it ..10 years may be !!!
 

Road building project in AP is vital for that states economy , future trade with China and more importantly move our Army .The biggest problem is not the inadequacy of soldiers but getting them to border quickly. In AP all roads run along river valleys, but they are not inter connected…..Go Figure it took 45  years from 1962 to realize it !! stupidity ….       To travel between two border towns Nafra and Sarli just 200km , but today one has to journey nearly 600 KM into Assam. Road building in AP is not easy either, roads have to negotiate  from 1000 ft gradient height to 20,000 feet. One other reason was after 1962 military defeat , Delhi felt building road meant it will be easier  for invading Chinese army  to roll down into Assam….. very  defensive mindset  that is..
