1962 में सड़कें नहीं, आज सुरंग और सड़क नेटवर्क का जाल, अरुणाचल प्रदेश में विकास की नई तस्वीर

SUMMARY
1962 के युद्ध के दौरान अरुणाचल प्रदेश में सड़कों और आवश्यक बुनियादी सुविधाओं का भारी अभाव था, जिससे परिवहन बेहद चुनौतीपूर्ण था। इसके विपरीत, आज यह राज्य आधुनिक ऑल-वेदर सड़कों, अत्याधुनिक पुलों और सेला सुरंग जैसी प्रमुख परियोजनाओं के विशाल नेटवर्क से जुड़ चुका है। इस अभूतपूर्व विकास से न केवल सेना की रणनीतिक पहुंच मजबूत हुई है, बल्कि स्थानीय पर्यटन, व्यापार और क्षेत्रीय आर्थिक प्रगति को भी एक नई दिशा मिली है।
