New Delhi : The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the construction of 69 bridges including approach roads on the Tamu-Kyigone-Kalewa (TKK) road section of the trilateral highway in Myanmar at a cost of Rs. 371.58 crore.

This will impart all weather usability to the TKK road section, which is also part of the route for the proposed Imphal-Mandalay bus service. It will improve connectivity between India and Myanmar and facilitate the movement of goods and traffic.

During the visit of then prime minister Dr. Manmohan Singh to Myanmar in May 2012, it was agreed, at the request of Government of Myanmar, to undertake construction of 71 bridges in the Tamu – Kyigone – Kalewa (TKK) road section of the Trilateral Highway.

The Government of Myanmar has started work on constructing two bridges, on its own, as these bridges needed urgent attention.

As a result, construction of the remaining 69 bridges will be undertaken under Government of India’s assistance.

Hats off to our policy makers. Not so incompetant as they appear huh?

One of the so-called pearls, Chittagong has been virtually handed over to India by Bangladesh. Not much happening in Sri Lanka on their port.

With improving Indo-Myanmar relations and developmentof Indo-Myanmar-Thailand (IMT) regional architecture , Myanmar can be knocked off that list too soon.

I am waiting for official announcements of Indian military base in Mongolia. There were talks on that, now those talks have gone underground. As far as I know ther is a small Indian intellegence/military group stationed there.

If look at it historically it been hugely incompetent. Like sitting pretty and doing nothing, when we were being encircled. it was not such a huge task to make willing neighbors part of the economic benefit of India's growth.
