Exclusive: Arunachal border area sees big rise in Chinese infra projects

China continues to aggressively pursue infrastructure projects close to Indian territory, EastMojo has learnt. EastMojo got hold of exclusive videos showing China’s increased infrastructure activity close to the Indian borders. The pictures and videos were taken from the border near Chaglagam village in Anjaw district of Arunachal Pradesh on August 11 when a team of long-range reconnaissance patrol or LRP went to monitor the border areas.

The visuals show infrastructure activities being carried out in the presence of soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) along with three excavators. According to sources, the construction is being carried out near Hadigra lake. 

Using Google’s native measurement tool, we found that the site of the construction is less than 30 km from Chaglagam, the last inhabited village in that region. Images from further north also confirmed the existence of a colony or a camp of the People’s Liberation Army.
