India Develops Road to Doklam, Now Army Can Reach Doklam in 40 Minutes
The Border Roads Organization (BRO) has developed a network of roads on India's borders this year. The organization has developed about 60,000 km of roads in 2019. These include a 19.72 km long important road near Doklam, where in 2017, there was a conflict between the Indian Army and Chinese Army for more than two months.
The BRO, who works for the maintenance and development of the road network on India's borders, has also developed road infrastructure in some friendly neighbouring countries. In 2019, apart from roads, the BRO has also developed major bridges, 19 airfields and two tunnels in difficult and remote areas near the border areas.
The achievements of BRO this year included the construction of the 19.72 km Bhim Base - Doklam Road, which would help the Indian Army reach the strategically important Doklam base. It is on the edge of the disputed Doklam plateau in Sikkim, where it will now take only 40 minutes to reach, whereas earlier it used to take 7 hours. It will be an all weather black tarred road , with no restrictions on load carrying capacity.
When the Indian Army was in a tense situation with the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Doklam in 2017, it was not possible for Indian security forces to reach here in a short time. In this context, the importance of this road increases significantly.
The BRO is also developing an underwater tunnel in the Brahmaputra River. The BRO was given task to develop 61 Sino - Indian border roads, the length of these projects is 3,346 km.

The Late Iranian General Qasem Soleimani - A friend of India?
Gen Soleimani was India's greatest friend and ally in the region. For those who understand our national security, the General had been a staunch supporter and even planned a rescue operation for Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav.
He had helped India to not only build ties with the Northern Alliance but also successfully prevented several sabotage operations at Chabahar and Afghanistan against India's interests. He had gone out of the way to influence Houthis in Yemen to call a ceasefire until General VK Singh rescued Indian nationals.
Besides being a top class special forces commander, not only Indians but several US military personnel respected the man as he had facilitated the release of US Navy personnel who had entered Iranian waters unknowingly. Right now, various military personnel in the US and NATO have condemned this stupid action, given the fact that this man was singularly responsible for wiping out ISIS from Iraq and Syria. if there is a country besides Iran who has been at a major loss, it is India.
Whether he was a good person or not is debatable but one thing is clear - he was a pain in the ass for Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and he was not hostile to India. For India, his death is something like the death of Ahmed Shah Massoud.
He stoked the fire of Balochistan and kept Pakistan on its toes, he hated ISI and the Pak Army, he single handedly kept the rag tag Houthis well armed and trained and they kicked the ass of the Saudis. As said, he helped wipe out ISIS.
He, also, may have wiped out the Pak brigade in Yemen recently.
Tailpiece.
Had got up at our usual time, gone through the chores and was ready in time. The Rajah medical team had come by a trifle late and the great thing was that I was able to give two receptacles of my urine for the RE and culture! But as it happens, the pain that I'd for the past two days around my liver had mysteriously vanished!
Lekha made a trip to the Mammiyoor Siva kshetram but because there was a huge crowd due to the Maha Rudra Yajnjam, she was only able to have a fleeting glance of the good Lord! Got the results an hour and a half later. The readings are perfect. Then why was the pain for the past few days, I wonder? Shall wait and watch.
Leela chittamma, Saji, Salini, Vivek and Lakshmi dropped by at 1900 hrs. After spending the evening and having dinner with us, they left by about 2300 hrs. It was a nice get together!
