About the Highway
  • The two-lane highway, known as NH-913, will aim to stop infiltration in the border area. It will be as close as 20 km from the international border.

  • The highway will start from Bomdila and pass through Nafra, Huri and Monigong. It will end at Vijaynagar, near the India-Myanmar border.
  • The highway is expected to give a big boost to the easy movement of defence forces as well as equipment to the border areas.
