India's powerful home minister on Monday visited a Himalayan frontier state that China claims as part of its territory to launch a 48 billion rupee ($585 million) development scheme he said would add to the security of the unmarked border.
Home Minister Amit Shah said the programme, which will cover nearly 3,000 villages in four states and one federally administered territory on the Chinese frontier, was aimed at helping reverse migration out of border areas.
Arunachal Pradesh has become a new flashpoint between New Delhi and Beijing, whose relations have been strained sincebetween their armies elsewhere in the western Himalayas in 2020 in which 24 soldiers were killed. "They have ensured that no one can eye our borders," Shah told a public meeting in Kibithoo, a border village in the Anjaw district of Arunachal Pradesh, one of India's last inhabited settlements just miles from the Chinese frontier.
Shah said there was a worry 10 years ago that the village was emptying, but that the 'Vibrant Villages Programme' he launched on Monday would provide facilities such as banking, power, cooking gas, jobs, physical and digital connectivity to what he called "the first village of India".
