In light of the two-month standoff between the Indian and the Chinese military near Doklam, the defence ministry has reportedly announced its decision to boost infrastructure along the border. This was decided in the Army Commander鈥檚 conference where the security challenges along the border were discussed.

The army is also considering providing more funds to the Border Road for infrastructure and road development. This decision entails construction of more roads along the Sino-India border. As per reports, the four passes to Lipulekh, Thangalal, Niti and Tsangchokla will be connected on priority by 2020.

Some organisational changes were also discussed at the conference including enhancing the army鈥檚 operational preparedness. The defence minister has also emphasised on the need to make the sector more reliant.
