The Centre has approved the development of the National Highway (NH)-15 - Trans Arunachal Highways (NH13 / NH 215) and Frontier Highways in Arunachal Pradesh to improve road connectivity in the frontier state near the border with China.
The project, which has been approved by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, proposed the construction of six corridors with a total length of 2,178 km.
