  • History of Project Vartak
    Brig JS Ishar Chief Engineer HISTORY OF PROJECT VARTAK The Beginning 1. During the second meeting of BRDB on 13 May 1960, late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister directed that the work on the construction of Road Bhalukpong- Tenga should commence on 01 Jun 1960. Accordingly, Project Tusker was raised on 07 May 1960. Thus Project Tusker was the first in Border Roads Organisation to commence road construction activity. 2. Project Tusker was also made responsible for the maintenance of road Missamari- Foothills-Chaku-Tenga, which had been constructed by PWD. Elephant Gate: Entry To Bomdila-Tawang Road 3. Work on the improvement of the Road Bhalukpong-Tenga-Bomdila was continued by 14 BRTF, which was raised in early 1962. The most difficult stretch on this high priority road was between Sessa and Bomdila. The task was completed in 6 months and the road was made trafficable by Oct 1962. Further improvements continued. Shri YB Chavan, the then Defence Minister formally opened the road in Apr 1963. 4. In 1962, a jeepable track Bomdila-Dirang-Sela-Tawang was also attempted. A Signals Task Force was raised for laying of telephone lines for Bomdila-Tawang, North Lakhimpur-Lekhabali-Along, Kimin-Ziro and Along-Daporijo sector. Initial Problems 5. During the initial induction of the Project, there were many teething problems. Maj Gen OM Mani, the first Chief Engineer (then Brigadier) of the Project later recalled:- “The Administrative Offices functioned under the cover of tarpaulins spread over bamboos. The office furniture comprised of a few packing cases and even these were in short supply.

  • Are India and China Destined for War? Three Future Scenarios
    19 ARE INDIA AND CHINA DESTINED FOR WAR? THREE FUTURE SCENARIOS Srini Sitaraman “Frontiers are indeed the razor’s edge on which hang suspended the modern issues of war or peace, of life or death to nations.” Lord Curzon Introduction The Greek historian Thucydides writing on the Peloponnesian War argued that when an established power encounters a rising power, the possibility of conflict between the established and rising power would become in- evitable.1 Graham T. Allison in his book, Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides’s Trap?, extended Thucydides’ primary argument by suggesting that the power dynamics between China and the United States is similarly poised, an established power—the United States—confronting an aggressive power in China may produce a military conflict between them.2 The Thucydides Trap argument has also been applied to the India- China conflict, in which India, a rising power, is confronted by China, the established power.3 But such comparisons are unsatisfactory because of the power asymmetry is against India. The overall military, economic, and political balance of power tilts towards China. Chinese strategists discount India as a serious security or economic threat. For China, India assumes substantial low priority military threat compared to the United States.4 More often India is described as a “barking dog” that must be ignored and its policy actions are described as having little political impact.5 In- dia has resisted the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), refused to the join the Beijing-led

Pattnaik ([email protected]) is an Associate Professor, at the Department of Political Science, Indira Gandhi Government College, Tezu (Lohit District), Arunachal Pradesh Vol. 54, Issue No. 5, 02 Feb, 2019 Borders are the gateway to growth and development in the trajectory of contemporary economic diplomacy. They provide a new mode of interaction which entails de-territorialised economic cooperation and free trade architecture, thereby making the spatial domain of territory secondary in the global economic relations. Taking a cue from this, both India and China looked ahead to revive their old trade routes in order to restore cross-border ties traversing beyond their political boundaries. Borders are the gateway to growth and development in the trajectory of contemporary economic diplomacy. They provide a new mode of interaction which entails de-territorialised economic cooperation and free trade architecture, thereby making the spatial domain of territory secondary in the global economic relations. Taking a cue from this, both India and China looked ahead to revive their old trade routes in order to restore cross-border ties traversing beyond their political boundaries. The reopening of the Nathula trade route in 2016 was realised as a catalyst in generating trust and confidence between India and China. Subsequently, the success of Nathula propelled the academia, policymakers and the civil society to rethink the model in the perspective of Arunachal Pradesh as well. So, the question that automatically arises here is: Should we apply this cross-border model in building up any entrepôt in Arunachal Pradesh? The response is positive and corroborated by my field interactions at the ground level.

  • Leakproof Form-Work Gives Long Lasting Concrete
    REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTS THROUGH AVIATION IN INDIA—CREATION OF NEW REGIONAL AIRPORTS AND REGIONAL AIRLINES —CreationRegionalCurrent Developments in Air and SpaceDevelopments Lawof new Regional through airports aviation and Regionalin India airlines Debabrat Mishra* Introduction One of the fastest growing aviation industries in the world is Indian Aviation Industry. With the liberalization of the Indian aviation sector, a rapid revolution has undergone in Indian aviation industry. Primarily it was a government-owned industry, but now it is dominated by privately owned full service airlines and low cost carriers. Around 75% share of the domestic aviation market is shared by private airlines. Earlier only few people could afford air travel, but now it can be afforded by a large number of people as it has become much cheaper because of stiff competition. The civil aviation traffic has seen an unprecedented traffic in the past few years on account of booming Indian economy, growing tourism industry, and entry of low cost carriers in the private sector, liberalization of international bi-lateral agreements and liberalization of civil aviation policy. In future also the civil aviation traffic is expected to grow at the same pace despite current slowdown due to global recession. But airport infrastructure has not kept pace with the growth of the civil aviation traffic. This has resulted in congestion and inefficient services in major airports, limited landing slots, inadequate parking bays and congestion during peak hours for airlines. Development of quality infrastructure will have an impact on international competitiveness and economic growth. This requires faster development of civil aviation infrastructure on public private partnership mode.

It was an atypical visit. Atypical because, of the seven Prime Ministers which China has had since 1949, he was the first one to visit the land which China had occupied forcibly after a military conflict in the Qamdo area of the Western Kham after crossing the Jinsha River on September 06, 1950.
